Durban – The Inkatha Freedom Party said on Monday the demands being made by the striking taxi industry were unreasonable and condemned any violence associated with the protests.
The operators are rejecting a relief package of just over R1 billion for the industry – stimulus intended to lessen the effects of the country's strict Covid-19 lockdown, which, among other things, limited the distance and number of passengers in taxis, hitting owners in the pockets. "We call for calm and for all parties involved to act with restraint and to resolve this dispute amicably and sensibly," said IFP spokesperson on transport Khethamabala Sithole.
