The City of Cape Town and Western Cape government said some new demands have emerged and accused Santaco of leaking the contents of the negotiations. | itchybyte
This due to the vandalism of buses and threats to the safety of drivers and passengers, the statement said.
On Sunday, Santaco agreed to an interim interdict that Golden Arrow and its staff and passengers would not be intimidated, harassed, or assaulted, and, in line with the interdict, published this for its affiliates to be aware of.
It was also ordered to publish a statement by 16:00 on Sunday, in which it commits itself and its affiliates to the peaceful handling of their dispute with the City of Cape Town, and it should condemn violence associated with the 3 August taxi stayaway. At 15:28, Santaco released a statement, saying it would adhere to these commitments, with the preface it was not a statement of liability for the violence and arson attacks.
Meanwhile, the Western Cape education department is determined to press ahead with keeping schools open and said its scholar transport would do its best under the circumstances.
