Gauteng Premier David Makhura and MEC for Roads and Transport Jacob Mamabolo will launch separate investigations into corruption, violence and maladministration plaguing the taxi industry in the province.I am going to appoint a retired judge to probe the underlying causes and the forces behind this taxi violence. Before the end of August, I will appoint a judge,” announced Makhura during a provincial taxi summit held in Vanderbiljpark, Gauteng on Thursday 25 July 2019.
Makhura said that even though he had been reluctant to appoint a judge to an inquiry, he saw the need to follow this route after much persuasion by MEC Mamabolo and the taxi industry leadership. Makhura explained that his action was motivated by the growing trend of taxi associations from neighbouring provinces hijacking Gauteng taxi routes and sparking violence as a result.I don’t want to say from which province, but there are guys populating these routes. Your routes are being taken over every day by force of arms and those operating on those routes are being shot and killed,” said Makhura.
The MEC’s office will conduct a forensic investigation to probe alleged corruption within his department in the issuing of operational permits.We must bring to an immediate end the alleged high levels of corruption, maladministration and toxic management practices in the issuance of operating permits,” said Mamabolo.We will announce a very capable service provider to do investigations.
As we dealt with transportation and transit systems including human settlements we forgot the significant political contribution to dismantling apartheid by and economic gains the mighty SABTA made in its hey days. We did not build on that history now it morphed into violence
By bloody time
