Taxis to operate in Soweto - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

The National Taxi Alliance sayswill be operating in Soweto on Friday despite Roads and Transport MEC Ismail Vadi’s announcement otherwise.

This week, Vadi announced a decision to close their routes and taxi ranks amid the violence between two warring associations. Several people have been killed and others wounded in the violence. On Thursday, the Nancefield-Dube West Taxi Association and the Witwatersrand Taxi Association made an undertaking to Vadi that they have reached an agreement.

The National Taxi Alliance which both associations belong to has denied that carrying on with operations would be defying the MEC. Spokesperson Theo Malele says, “The National Taxi Alliance leadership had proposed that we get an interpretation of the operating licence from the issuing office, that is the Directorate of the licensing and monitoring. If the there is peace between the two associations, I do not think that is in violation of the declaration.”

Once again they proof that they have no respect for the law.

They want to see bodies. They have forgotten TRT.

Well... They were impounded and stopped operating and scores of people were stranded.. People with smaller cars ended up helping very late at night. That caption will mislead the public into thinking that taxis are now operating.
