WC legislature scrutinises efforts to tackle taxi disruptions

File image POLITICAL NEWS - On Thursday 29 July, the Standing Committee on Transport and Public Works convened an urgent meeting to discuss the recent disruptions in the taxi industry.  This comes after the taxi strike entered its second week, and the loss of 86 of lives this year. MPP Mackenzie says: “We appreciate that all stakeholders came to the Western Cape Provincial Parliament and presented their views. Furthermore, SANTACO has committed to brief our Transport & Public Works Committee again, and as the mother-body for CATA and CODETA, pledged their full support in resolving the taxi conflicts once and for all. The closure of the Belville-Mbekweni (Paarl) route by Minister Daylin Mitchell was a bold – and correct – step to take. It has brought us to a situation where we’ve reached five consecutive days of no violence and no further loss of life due to industry disruptions.
