Stemmer Monageng, chairperson of the Mamelodi local and long-distance taxi association , said they were conducting business as usual.“We haven’t reached the stage of doing a shutdown. We are still negotiating with the government. We are still going to engage everybody, including Cosatu — we haven’t deadlocked anybody. We are conducting our business as usual.
“People are taking things from the [negotiating] table when it’s not finalised and making it seem as if it's finalised, but we are not yet there.The industry was badly affected by fuel costs and commuters were already battling the high cost of living. “It is impacting very badly because now we are in a situation where we must consider the issue of increasing taxi fares, but we're in a position where we find it difficult because companies haven’t given people extra money for transport. So we are asking ourselves, where will they get those monies? That is why we are sitting behind closed doors discussing those situations,” he said.
