Taxi Bosses Promise Week-Long Strike After Protest Chaos scrollaafrica: SouthAfrica
The strike was triggered by a meeting held at the Desmond Tutu Sports Centre, where the chairperson from Primary Associations, which represents a range of taxi associations in the province, decided to withdraw from the taxi rank immediately.
The cause of this mass strike was the City of Cape Town's operations in the CBD on Tuesday, where their taxis were impounded and their drivers were allegedly assaulted. "Nobody from the government has come out and condemned the behaviour of the officials who attacked our drivers."
