Sporadic incidents have been reported since Thursday afternoon, following a decision by Santaco Western Cape to withdraw all minibus taxi operations.
CAPE TOWN - Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has again called on the South African National Taxi Council to put an end to ongoing acts of violence as its minibus taxi strike continues.
Hill-Lewis has welcomed the Western Cape High Court’s granting of an urgent interdict late on Monday night. "The order states that no person, vehicle, taxi or driver may unreasonably obstruct, interfere or block any vehicle on any public road, throughout the City Metropole, in such manner as to harm passengers or delay or impede the flow of traffic. The interdict further prohibits any person from interfering with the operations of public transportation. The City will uphold the rule of law without fear or favour.""There has been a tremendous disruption to public services.
