“Friday we came to an agreement…Saturday they impounded six vehicles again, making us angry, provoking us.”
“We have an urgent meeting. Just pray that there in that meeting the way forward will be different. We decided on Friday that we are going to take the city to court. So, we are going to submit our court order and interdict against the city and the MEC,” Waldeck said.Thousands of commuters were left stranded during the deadly taxi eight day strike which left at least five people dead including a 40-year-old British national who was shot and killed during the protest.
Sporadic violence erupted in different parts of the city after police began impounding vehicles as angry protesters torched buses and cars, and pelted the police with stones.
“We know this has been a challenging time, but now that the taxi strike has been called off, we must get our children back to school, and so we appeal to parents: please work with us and ensure that your children go back to school,” Maynier said.
