But the Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association denies the letter is from them.
A letter threatening scholar transport operators not to pick up children in Masiphumelele, Fish Hoek from next month has caused anxiety among scholar drivers and parents.
However, the South African National Taxi Council says it has investigated the origins of the letter and that the Masiphumelele CATA branch has denied writing and distributing such a letter. SANTACO Western Cape spokesperson Makhosandile Tumana told GroundUp that the association “would like to apologize to the parents of the affected school children”.
“As SANTACO, we have engaged with the CATA Regional Taxi Council to establish the veracity of the letter. We further engaged the chairperson of the primary association in Masiphumelele, who has assured SANTACO Western Cape that there is no truth in the contents of the letter that is in circulation,” said Hermanus.
He said pupils should not be disrupted and intimidated when going to school. “The role players are still trying to establish what is meant by this letter. Everyone needs to remain focused on the wellbeing of the kids and this whole situation will be solved in the best interest of the children,” said Geldenhyus.
