The City of Cape Town will be engaging with disgruntled taxi associations. After taxi operators in Hout Bay blocked roads on Monday and attacked buses:
Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Rob Quintas said they have a dedicated team skilled at negotiating in the sector but he said it would be difficult to resolve the disputes.
“We’ll be meeting with them in good faith. As I mentioned our extremely competent and experienced taxi engagement unit will be facilitating that meeting in the CBD,” said Quintas. “We will be providing transport for representation from Hout Bay Taxi Association and SANCO etc. to come through to the civic and the people who are skilled in these negotiations will continue to work with them.”Quintas wanted to clarify that the city did not initially file the court application, saying:”Bearing in mind that the concerns around compensation are in front of the court and that court application was actually filed by the Hout Bay Taxi Association and not the city of Cape Town.
