The agreement was signed with the Gauteng South African National Taxi Council and the Gauteng National Taxi Alliance in what the provincial department of transport described as “historic”.
In the deal signed on Monday, taxi bosses agreed that Mamabolo must investigate modern and transparent fare collection systems for implementation by the various taxi associations in a manner that will promote accountability and savings of resources. Violence has been a problem in the taxi industry for decades with no solution found. Just before the lockdown began, Justice Jeremiah Shongwe had begun listening to evidence in a commission set up by provincial government to investigate taxi violence.
Mamabolo held urgent meetings with the industry to try and persuade them to reconsider their decision. When that was done, the sector embarked on a national open defiance stance, loading combis at full capacity and resuming inter-provincial travel without permission from the State.
