Taxi organisations have indicated that they are ‘vehemently opposed’ to linking the support packages with the process to regularise the industry.It appears that the government is playing hardball with the recalcitrant taxi industry. While it hands out relief packages totalling R1.135 billion, it won’t give money to any operator who is not “legal”.
That means that if a taxi operator wants money from you and I – taxpayers in other words – he or she will have to register for, and pay, tax, just like we do. Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula, in announcing the relief plan, gave an indication that the aid was by no means a magnanimous gesture, saying that “reaching agreement within government” was “a difficult process that involved extensive lobbying and convincing the relevant authorities on the importance and need for this fund”.
