“A commitment to the sectoral determination for the taxi industry and ensuring compliance with the country’s labour laws is a welcome development, worthy of celebrating. These steps are an expression of an industry poised to shed its image as a relic of the past and ready to embrace its future as a professional industry that places the interests of the commuters, the workers and other road users at the centre of its operations,” said Mbalula.
He said inasmuch the laws should be tough on taxi operators who violate the industry’s provisions, “it must equally sting public servants and officers of the law who use their positions of authority to advance their personal economic interests in the industry. This is a non-negotiable that will find expression in our efforts to implement a robust regulatory model steeped in fairness and in ensuring the constitutional injunction that all citizens are equal before the law is a lived reality.
The government should build primary public transport network and let the taxis become secondary support system
Reform my ass, I jus saw a taxi, with all his tyres plain, these people are making money but gambling with peoples lives, yassess!
MbalulaFikile what taxi reform when there was Taxi violence at Fourways Mall on Friday that left one guy dead...shot 7 times 😡😡😡
This guy is lying to us all
No the taxi industry is full of semi-literate, tavern dwelling savages and the ANC runs fleets
Obvious these ministers live in cuckoo land
MbalulaFikile build a factory. Make SABS approved taxis with all specs you want as govt. Partner with a bank for vehicle financing with lower rates for consumer (taxi owners). Require all necessary docs when purchasing such as tax compliance welcome!
Good
Start reforming by forcing the taxi industry to number their taxis with large visible numbers so that they be identified for dangerous and reckless driving. Or are you also to scared to do your job. 😡😡😡
Fundamental problem is it’s a bus not a car...affects routes, timing, place to stop, ownership, maintenance, driver wages/training, safety, passenger mobility etc etc... nothing will change until we accept that. busnotcar TaxiLekgotla
I can tell you now for free, nothing...nothing will be fixed in any ministry until that MF has his whole head filled with grey hair. Their strategy is to talk while while they live in luxury.
