The minister said his plans for the industry included formalising it to allow taxi drivers, marshals and owners to enjoy the same benefits as workers. His plans would also see commuters pay lower taxi fares.
“We’ve got to change the taxi industry so we don’t find ourselves here after many years again. The people who have suffered [as a result of the strike] are us black people, the majority of whom are using taxis to go to work,” said Mbalula.“I can’t go beyond R5,000 [relief per taxi]. There are other industries that have closed down because of Covid-19. At no stage did I, or government, undermine the efforts of the taxi industry in terms of supporting preservation of life for our people.
“I wish to reiterate: we are in a position to provide what we can provide and we can’t go beyond that. There will be no money beyond that. We can’t take decisions in this country because we are being intimidated — otherwise there will be no government.”
