Level4: One of the largest taxi association in the country, the National Taxi Alliance (NTA), has expressed shock at the latest ban on long-distance travel in Gauteng.

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.”
