CAPE TOWN - Taxi commuters across the Western Cape will find themselves stranded as the provincial taxi leadership has decided to stop all operations on Thursday.

This means from Thursday afternoon, taxi commuters will have to find alternative transport to get to their various destinations. “But members must expect that going forward we might just meet with all the regional chairpersons and announce a day of stayaway.”At the same time, the Western Cape Transport MEC, Richardo Mackenzie expressed shock to Sanataco’s decision to pull out from the provincial transport task team.
