CAPE TOWN - The South African National Taxi Council is planning to embark on a stay-away in the Western Cape next Wednesday.All operators have been advised to park their taxis either at home or at a rank.
It said that next week's stay-away was in protest against the continued impounding of minibus taxis for minor traffic violations. Operators said that they were also up in arms because provincial government had allowed the Golden Arrow Bus Service to continue operating on the B97 route. Former Western Cape Mobility MEC Daylin Mitchell closed the route in July 2021 following the loss of lives and several incidents of violent conflict between members of rival associations over control of the route.
