Amid the escalating standoff between the taxi industry and the City of Cape Town, the Economic Freedom Fighters Western Cape has released a statement expressing its condemnation of the ‘malicious victimisation of the taxi industry which led to the ongoing taxi strike’.

‘In one instance a minibus taxi was impounded because a taxi operator had refused to pick a license that a traffic official had dropped deliberately to test the patience of the taxi operator. In another bizarre case, a minibus taxi was impounded because its taxi operator was found smoking the car alone.’

The statement continued, calling upon the DA to ‘urgently review this by-law, to issue all permits speedily and to release all taxis that have been impounded’.
