Santaco has called for more clarity and collaboration with government regarding the rules and regulations of how taxis operate under the lockdown: “By our estimates, the taxi industry will lose almost R20m per day under the 10% operational regulations”

“By our estimates, the taxi industry will lose almost R20 million per day under the 10% operational regulations,” Thabisho Molelekwa, spokesperson of Santaco, said on Saturday.

“There is a general outcry that the government did not consult with the taxi industry. On top of that, we have contradictory regulations which, upon enforcement, frustrate an already frustrated industry.” Some of the operational frustrations expressed include reducing capacity to below 50%, the times taxis are allowed to operate, as well as in what areas they are allowed to operate.

“We still need to meet with [Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula],” Molelekwa said, although he did mention that Santaco’s president, Phillip Taaibosch, had committed to working with government “to the bitter end.
