It has since been reopened. Golden Arrow is offering a R200,000 reward for information which leads to the arrest and prosecution of the suspected arsonists who torched three buses. Information can be confidentially shared via 0800 111167. Golden Arrow spokesperson Bronwen Dyke-Beyer says a total of 11 buses have nee torched this year.

 

It's not acceptable. It's pure criminality. We really need some help. Bronwen Dyke-Beyer, Spokesperson - Golden Arrow People know things. People know who did this, and we are just begging for somebody to come forward. Bronwen Dyke-Beyer, Spokesperson - Golden Arrow We lost three buses that were completely gutted this morning. There was an attempt on a fourth bus, but fortunately, we had company officials extinguish the fire. Bronwen Dyke-Beyer, Spokesperson - Golden Arrow For us, the biggest concern is not the monetary value of the bus. It's the fact that people's lives are disrupted. People could be very badly hurt. Our matrics are writing exams.
