“The council in KZN took a decision to fill all taxis from Monday and those travelling long-distance will not be asked for permits. If we follow the 70% regulation, taxi operations will grind to a halt,” said Zondi.
Mhlongo said they supported the Covid-19 relief of R20 000 per taxi as proposed by the National Taxi Alliance. eThekwini Metro Taxi Council secretary Mathula Mkhize said they, too, would be operating with full capacity taxis. Mkhize said they would be joining Santaco because of postponements, agreements and arrangements from the government.
