Responding to questions from IOL, the Checkers' media team confirmed the disruption.
"The attempted disruptions of our Sixty60 service experienced in parts of KwaZulu-Natal this past weekend are the actions of a small group of disgruntled former contractor riders who were dismissed for non-compliance to Pingo’s operational requirements," the team explained.
Checkers added that its business is guided by the rule of law, principles of fairness, integrity and mutual respect.
"We will not tolerate any actions aimed at disrupting, coercing or threatening our operations and/or public safety.
Established channels and procedures are in place through which drivers can raise any concerns or grievances," the retail giant said.
