Speaking on Thursday, the minister said the department has consulted with the Medical Advisory Council and its recommendations were “duly considered and accepted” when making the decision.
Mbalula added that the taxi bosses at each taxi rank have a responsibility to ensure that these rules are upheld. The taxi industry has previously threatened to shut down operations to protest the government’s relief package of R1.1-billion for the sector. The industry has also previously complained about the 50% capacity regulation, saying that it is losing money. In early April, Mbalula allowed taxis to operate at 100% capacity, but then backtracked to 70%.
“We engaged with the taxi industry leadership in good faith and we found each other in many areas, but there are areas where we differ. However, the door remains open for further engagements on issues where we are not in agreement,” he noted.
