ANC provincial spokesperson Muhammad Khalid Sayed said the party is unhappy with the EFF labelling the march as a shutdown, saying they only support a peaceful resolution to taxi industry disputes in the city.
JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress in the Western Cape has withdrawn from the planned march against the impoundment of taxis by the city of Cape Town.
In August, the metro seized dozens of unroadworthy mini-bus vehicles and others that were operating with invalid documentation. “It was always our position that this was a multi-party march against the unlawful impoundment of taxis. It was never intended to be a shutdown led by one political party. The mixed messages emanating as late as this [Sunday] morning in the media have convinced us that it would be unwise to participate.”
