He accused traffic officers of impounding taxis even in cases where the offence was committed by a driver, and also assaulting taxi drivers.“All regions of Santaco in the Western Cape have resolved to recall all taxis from operating as of this moment,” it said.
“During this stay-way, there will be no march or any form of protests that will take place. All operations will stop and we have urged our operators to refrain from any acts of violence and threatening behaviours. “Normal taxi operations will resume on 10 August, after which we will make further announcements on the way forward. “Police in the Western Cape said they had responded to the taxi strike “with high-density operational deployments” in the city centre and other affected areas to maintain law and order.“Preliminary reports suggest the N2 in both directions are blocked by taxis, severely affecting traffic in both directions.
“The City of Cape Town and Western Cape government have been working to avoid a strike and any disruption for communities. City law enforcement, traffic services, alongside the SAPS, are already working and will continue to work to uphold the rule of law over the coming days as we always do,” said Hill-Lewis.We won't tolerate disruption and will hold perpetrators accountable for public violence and damages.
