Police said the motive for the fire could not be immediately confirmed.

“The police are investigating cases of intentional property damage and are appealing to anyone who may have information that may lead to the arrest of suspects to call the nearest police station or the crime stop number at 08600 10111 “.

The acting provincial commissioner, Major General Patricia Rampota, has ordered the urgent mobilization of maximum resources to find those responsible.

DA Gauteng MPL Fred Nel described the attacks as economic sabotage.

“The damage will amount to tens of millions of rand as expensive vehicles were destroyed and their cargoes were damaged or destroyed.

“This was clearly an organized criminal act and the perpetrators must be taken into account to send a clear message that this type of crime will not be tolerated,” he said.

“We cannot allow our economy to be held back and sabotaged in this way.

“The movement of goods on our roads is vital to the economy of Gauteng and South Africa and we must do everything in our power to protect truckers and their loads.”
