Matsebula’s Bus Service operated services between Pienaar, Daantjie and Lekazi to Nelspruit, as well as services in the Nkomazi area.

The Nyalunga brothers operated services from Kabokweni and Pienaar area to White River. It is in this company where Fred Kinnear and Abel Erasmus acquired a 50% stake. The two companies, Matsebula Bus Service and Stick Nyalunga amalgamated in 1980 to form what is today known as BUSCOR (Pty) Ltd under the leadership of Fred George Kinnear.
