A MyCiti bus driver was seriously injured when the bus he was driving was petrol bombed in Woodstock in Cape Town on Monday night.
The spokesman for the city's fire department, Theo Layne, said a passenger was also injured but was not in a critical condition.
This is the fifth bus to be torched since the start of an unprotected strike by MyCiti workers on October 15. T
The bus drivers are demanding to be employed directly by the city.
Bus operators are currently hired by vehicle operating companies. In recent weeks, they have been picketing outside the Civic Centre demanding to be insourced.
Eighty striking bus drivers have reportedly been fired by the City so far.
