Pretoria - There wasn't as much taxi hooting in Mamelodi on Monday morning, but contrary to what was expected there was some taxi activity.
The township has two major associations, namely Mamelodi Local Long Distance Association and the SA National Taxi Association . Drivers under Santaco heeded the call and switched off their engines for the day, while Mallda drivers were making a killing with abundant commuters from the Santaco strike. Although their routes slightly differ, some were quite similar. Some commuters looked stranded in queues, while some hitch hiked lifts. A deserted Denlyn Shopping Taxi rank in Mamelodi.
"It’s the administration arm of the government and it depends a lot on the working class to run it, most of which need us to get them to work. “It’s a pity the government doesn’t see that. So we are going to make the government feel it,” Makata said.“We feel sorry for our commuters, but this is a means to an end.”“Should the message fall on deaf ears? We have something even bigger in store,” Makata said.** If you think you have been exposed to the Covid-19 virus, please call the 24-hour hotline on 0800 029 999 or visit
