National Taxi Association says the two-week ban on interprovincial travel would put drivers under pressure as they would not be able to meet their monthly commitments.

He said the decision put operators under pressure because they would not be able to meet their monthly commitments and that would affect their well-being.He could not provide figures of how much the industry would lose in the next two weeks but said it was a lot of money.

“Based on the pronouncement by the president, Gauteng is our bay for business. This is going to affect us negatively. We have been loading 70% and it doesn’t even cover the costs of the trips. It’s about time that government assists us without us having to fight,” Magagula said. “If we were a super spreader, many people would be sick because we carry around 16 million people a day. Why should we suffer? We are black owned and we are put under pressure to reduce the load, so whose fooling who in the zoo.”
