The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have called for the immediate release of all impounded taxis amid the ongoing taxi protests that have violently gripped the Mother City:
, the COCT will continue to impound vehicles “until we have no more space, and then we will find some more space.”calling taxi drivers “taxi-terrorists” “could result in a major social crisis that would threaten the livelihood of commuters who rely on public transportation.”
“The City of Cape Town must fix its traffic department systems effectively to enable taxi owners to get their operating licences and permits on time. Additionally, once all permits and operating licenses have been issued, it is imperative that the City executives and the taxi associations conduct regular meetings to ensure an effective, working…relationship,” the EFF continued.
