'We are not afraid of the taxi industry. We are guided by rationale (sic) in the decisions that we take,' Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula said.

The 1.135-billion government relief fund rejected by the taxi industry is “safe” in government coffers. Mbalula promised that the funds would finally be distributed among taxi operators after some negotiations with the industry. “There was a jumping up and down and promise of defiance of rule and regulations to fill up to 100 percent. Government has no appetite to engage in a battle of that sort during Covid-19,” Mbalula said.
