The South African National Taxi Council (SANTACO) in the Western Cape has expressed concern over the provincial government's decision to close several taxi routes. As of today, several taxi routes will be closed for 30 days due to ongoing violence and instability in the public transport sector. SANTACO has expressed concern over the impact on taxi operators' livelihoods and related businesses but acknowledged the measure's intent to safeguard lives. Elvis Presslin spoke to Western Cape MEC for Transport, Isaac Sileku

The Western Cape government has taken a decision to invoke Section 91 of the National Transport Act and impose a closure of a number of taxi routes for a period of 30 days effective Wednesday 17 September. This comes about after deadly clashes between rival taxi organisations, namely Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (Cata) and the Cape Organisation for the Democratic Taxi Association (Codeta).

SANTACO Provincial Manager Sfiso Shangase joined East Coast Breakfast on East Coast Radio to give us an in-depth update on the ongoing taxi strike, why it's happening and what the potential outcomes could be. Take a listen to the details and what commuters need to know. Webpage

The taxi strike that brought eThekwini to a standstill is over. Taxis are back on the roads today after Durban taxi operators and KZN transport officials reached an agreement late last night. Yesterday, thousands of commuters were stranded as operators joined the South African National Taxi Council, SANTACO's call for a stay-away over delays in issuing operating licenses and the impounding of taxis. Elvis Presslin spoke to KZN Transport MEC Siboniso Duma

KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) residents are facing widespread disruption as the ongoing taxi strike, led by the South African National Taxi Council (Santaco), continues to paralyze transport across the province. The strike, which began in the eThekwini metro area, has left thousands of commuters stranded, businesses short-staffed, and schools struggling with low attendance. The heart of the dispute lies in grievances between the taxi industry, the eThekwini municipality, and the Provincial Department of Transport. Key issues include the attachment of operating licenses, the review of impounded vehicles, and the need for updated data on taxi routes. As negotiations stretch into their second day, there is cautious optimism for a resolution. In an exclusive interview, Sifiso Shangase, KwaZulu-Natal spokesperson for Santaco, emphasized the industry's willingness to find common ground. “When we go into negotiations, we always have to be optimistic because the objective is to meet each other halfway. It's not a win-all approach. It should be a win-win,” Shangase said. He confirmed that some impounded vehicles have already been released after operators provided the necessary documentation. “We always say we are law-abiding citizens and want only roadworthy vehicles on the road. These vehicles were impounded because drivers didn't have their operating licenses on hand, not because they were unfit for service,” Shangase explained. The strike's impact has been felt across all sectors. Local businesses, like the Bush Tavern in Umdloti, have struggled to operate with skeleton staff. “We've been busy since early morning, with management driving around to pick up staff so we can keep running,” said Brenton Turner, a local business owner. “For those without cars, it's been a real struggle just to keep above water, but we're open and doing our best.” Listeners shared stories of hardship, with many forced to walk long distances to work or school. One parent recounted, “One of my kids didn't make it to school. The other had to walk eight kilometers because he had a project due. I myself walked six kilometers to work.” Another listener, a teacher, described classrooms half-empty and the challenge of catching up on missed assessments: “I can't do my job properly, and I'm not even sure if they'll be there tomorrow. There are deadlines to be met and it's affecting us badly.” Shangase acknowledged the pain caused by the strike, urging both taxi operators and commuters to remain patient. “We know people have been affected in different ways. Others were intending to go for interviews and have lost out. It's very painful and sad. We are pleading with our members to regroup and prioritize commuters.” As talks between Santaco and government officials continue, there is hope that a resolution will be reached soon. “There's light at the end of the tunnel,” Shangase assured. In the meantime, KZN residents are left waiting, hoping for a swift end to the crisis that has upended daily life across the province.

The South African National Taxi Council, SANTACO in KwaZulu-Natal is threatening a two-day strike over taxi impoundments in the province. SANTACO is demanding the provincial government to address the issue and threatening to halt all taxi operations across the province if their demands are not met. Elvis Presslin spoke to Sifiso Shangase, Spokesperson for the South African National Taxi Council, SANTACO, in KZN

The South African National Taxi Council, SANTACO, has slammed false social media claims suggesting it ordered private motorists not to carry passengers. The council says taxi use is voluntary and only law enforcement can regulate transport. This follows the tragic killing of an e-hailing driver at Maponya Mall in Soweto, where he was allegedly shot by disgruntled taxi operators. His vehicle, along with another e-hailing car, was set alight. The incident triggered protests around the mall and widespread complaints from motorists about taxi operators pressuring them. Elvis Presslin spoke to SANTACO National Spokesperson, Mmatshikhidi Rebecca Phala

To help unpack the outcomes of the meeting and offer perspective from within the taxi industry, Africa Melane is joined by Makhosandile Tumana, the Public Relations Officer for SANTACO in the Western Cape and spokesperson for CODETA.
