Mpumalanga Santaco chairperson says it's their right to stop motorists from picking up passengers on public roads.The South African National Taxi Council has warned motorists to avoid picking up hitchhikers on taxi routes.
“Picking up people on the road is our business. We have a license to do that, and they don’t have a license to pick up people,” Sibanyoni said.He further reiterated that motorists “are violating right” by picking up passengers without permits, claiming this competes unfairly with taxis. “Interrogation that gets to be done by some patrollers to a civilian is not their mandate. They’re not supposed to be doing that,” she said.“The message we want South Africans to understand is, if you just load people just because you’re trying to get petrol money or something, it’s wrong. You’re not supposed to be doing that., a Mpumalanga man became a victim of taxi patrollers after they reportedly took his car and demanded a R2500 fine to return it after he gave his neighbour a lift.
