Long distance taxi operators in Mahikeng, in the North West, are requesting financial relief from government. They say the nationalThey also want better communication from the Transport Ministry on how best to mitigate this revenue shortfall.“The minister says he spoke to the banks, so that we may not pay for a certain period, and other people are going to be compensated. But to us, no one is talking about us.

Sonke 💁🏽♀️
as a relief, I propose all taxi operators be refunded 50% of what they paid in taxes last year as a start. that can be reviewed in 3 months' time.
In the moment we all need money. So no special treatment
All long distance taxi operators must be must be helped financially by the government since they cannot be able to operate because it seems like the government its only taking local taxis into consideration
It's hard feel bad for an industry that treats it's customers so horribly, treats other road users horribly and doesn't pay taxes.
MbalulaFikile .......
They should just start operating long distance... otherwise they won't get anything.....these thing ya di permit I don't understand it
Im also in this industry but expecting nothing just reasoning.
But the taxi operators has a point ngempela.....government must think about this ngoba nabo they have families to feed.
Non taxable business and then assistance from where
Why are taxis not subsidized but buses are ? What’s is the difference? They are both privately owned and my understanding is that taxi operators must be registered to pay tax in order to get permits .
eish and most places in the province were already not doing well when it comes to taxi business especially in long distances
The government will give them nothing
We all need money, we were running business aswel
Every south Africans should be compensated by government
