On Monday, a taxi strike in Gauteng turned violent when police used rubber bullets to disperse taxi operators who had blockaded roads. reported the one-day taxi protest was prompted by the government offering R1bn to the sector to limit the impact of Covid-19. However, the taxi industry said the offering was not nearly enough to provide relief, insisting on “at least R20,000 per vehicle”.

"The billions they’re asking for to observe the rules for Covid19 -and transport the workforce daily - is worth paying," he said. Sizwe agreed with Warras that the industry, and public transport as a whole, was important if SA wanted a healthy and thriving economy.
