The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport and SANTACO have reached an agreement to end the Durban taxi strike, which left thousands of commuters stranded this week.
The dismissal of SANTACO’s interdict application implies that the City of Cape Town retains the authority to impound taxis when necessary.
SANTACO and the City of Cape Town have condemned circulating messages about the second coming of a taxi strike.
SANTACO called off the Cape Town taxi strike following a week of devastation that culminated in five deaths and 198 active criminal cases.
SANTACO has effectively distanced itself from the deadly Cape Town taxi strike, claiming the unrest was perpetrated by ‘non-members’.
The SA National Taxi Council (Santaco) said taxis would continue to load at full capacity despite the increasing rate of infections in the country.
