have condemned the violence, including the alleged disarming of a police officer, by some protesting individuals during Tuesday’s shutdown.Hundreds of e-hailing drivers on Tuesday submitted a memorandum of demands to the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition at the Union Buildings in Pretoria, calling for the industry to be regulated.
The operators have embarked on a three-day national shutdown in a bid to highlight alleged exploitation and safety concerns. E-hailing spokesperson Vhatuka Mbelengwa says they witnessed some individuals stopping an unmarked police vehicle and in the process, injuring the police officer and taking his firearm.
“We had a peaceful protest and regrettably had one incident where some reckless drivers confronted some unmarked police vehicle and then they disarmed the police officer. We intervened. I can confirm that I recovered the firearm and handed over the involved individuals to law enforcement. We are committed to ensuring our strike remains peaceful and we condemn any acts of violence that are happening in any other areas.
E-hailing drivers are Foreigners who don't have documents
