Pretoria - The taxi industry in the City of Tshwane welcomes a high court ruling giving the government powers to immediately place taxi associations under administration in times of conflict.
The Department of Public Transport and Roads made an urgent application to the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, to seek powers of enforcement, and an expressive direction for the police to punish any who may transgress the order. The ruling granted the MEC for Public Transport and Roads to intervene in the administration of unstable taxi associations riddled with fights and consult with the industry to restore good administration and to prevent fights and dispute.
