Taxi drivers across Gauteng returned to their steering wheels on Tuesday after spending Monday on the streets protesting over government’s Covid-19 relief grant and efforts to support their businesses.
Operators claim they have lost income as a result of parts of the economy not being allowed to operate.Some passengers left their homes earlier than usual, fearing the strike would continue on Tuesday.The pair joined a long queue at the Rea Vaya bus station near Thokoza Park in Soweto. Molefe said she left her home an hour earlier.
“Rea Vaya is much more reliable at this stage because they are not on strike. The only problem is that the queue is long because buses are only allowed to carry a certain number of passengers. “As drivers, we are not making any profit because of the impacts of Covid-19. We are only allowed to carry a limited number of passengers. We plead with government to listen to our pleas,” Mdletshe said.
