SA Taxi took a decision to start giving its partners in the industry two minibus taxis and a R100 000 every month for 12 months.
Abel Msiza, 74, one of the first two beneficiaries, said:"I am so speechless; it is so unreal because after everything this company has done for me and my family I win a taxi sitting next to my wife and granddaughter.
"Today, I am an employer of 18 taxi drivers and now I'm going to add employee number 19. Can you believe I bought a farm because of this taxi business? That is why I am so happy and grateful to SA Taxi for their efforts to work with us and empower us." Maroba Maduma, SA Taxi spokesperson, said they had always seen themselves as a partner to the taxi industry and were concerned about the sustainability of the businesses that were being run by taxipreneurs.
