He stressed that he was not at war with the taxi industry and was not prepared to engage in any type of war.
Mbalula said the main reason for the delay in the payment of the relief fund was because the taxi industry was not happy with the decision by the state to use the SA Revenue Service to pay the money to beneficiaries. He said he would only be able to get back to the industry about their concerns, including the call to carry full loads of passengers, later this week when the national coronavirus command council had resolved the issue.
Mbalula said there was no reason for the taxi industry to take to the streets to get their issues resolved and“South Africa is not a banana republic. We can't allow a state of lawlessness, where people dare government and say that we are basically going to render this unworkable and ungovernable. “We must learn as a nation to live within the parameters of the law, and raise our issues,” said Mbalula.
