Yesterday, scores of workers were left stranded after the South African National Taxi Council in Gauteng halted all operations to express their unhappiness over Covid-19 relief funds.
Transport minister Fikile Mbalula announced a R1.13bn allocation for the sector on Friday. However, taxi men rejected the offer as it includes metered cabs and e-hailing service providers. We commend Santaco for committing to resume operations today as they wait for the minister to address them on whether they would be allowed to carry full loads and other issues.
Thousands of South Africans have lost jobs because of Covid-19 financial losses as companies are shutting down. Experts had warned that as high as four million would be unemployed after the pandemic.
