Taxi industry set to bring Gauteng to a grinding halt today via TheCitizen_News

Law enforcement agencies are squaring up for protest action by the taxi industry across Gauteng today.

Mbalula said yesterday that the strike was “unfortunate and counter-productive” and would “negatively affect the working classes”, as well as worsen the “devastation” suffered by the taxi industry through the combined impact of reduced capacity and limited operating hours because of the lockdown restrictions.

“From what they have told us in the letter, the purpose of the strike is to express their dissatisfaction with the announcement regarding the relief fund for the taxi industry, which is very small,” said Molelekwa. Molelekwa said the minister’s announcements were ill-timed and served to further anger and confuse taxi organisations, which could lead to more provinces taking part in protest action.
