JP Smith rubbishes claims City's targeting black-dominated taxi industry. CapeTimesSA

Cape Town – The Amalgamated Taxi Association hit back at the city council, following the impounding of 60 taxis during Operation Zero Tolerance. Cata says the city council does not want to compete with the taxi industry but replace it with the MyCiTi buses. Cape Town traffic officers took to the streets on Tuesday for the latest instalment of Operation Zero Tolerance.

In the CBD, 31 taxis and 45 cellphones were impounded, and 963 fines issued. Between Mowbray and Fish Hoek, officers impounded 29 vehicles, 24 cellphones, issued 229 fines and arrested the drunk driver.“It is very painful for us as an association, because we are being oppressed by the city. “The traffic department has failed to issue the permits on time, and they make it difficult for us to have them. And when they want to fund-raise, they impound our taxis because they know we will pay.

“They never stop the MyCiTi buses but they are always overloaded with people. If it was a taxi, they would stop it immediately. They are destroying us,” Seyamo said.
