City will not tolerate criminality during taxi strike
21 February 2023
The City of Cape Town is well aware of the planned strike in the public transport sector for Wednesday, 22 February, as commissioned by Santaco.
We have rolled out a fully integrated operational plan in support of our South African Police Services, with a full deployment across the metropole.
Reasons given for the intended strike action include a dissatisfaction over increased fines and the continuous action of impoundments of minibus taxis.
It must be noted that such enforcement action is derived from legislation passed from national government more than a decade back and is nothing new. The City will continue enforcing such legislation in an effort to protect passengers and fellow road users.
