Tshwane protests 'over' as City, taxi drivers reach agreement, condemn xenophobia
4 September 2019
The unrest in the Pretoria CBD is finally over after the City of Tshwane and taxi operators reached an agreement.
Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Roads and Transport Sheila Senkubuge met with the SA National Taxi Council (Santaco) and National Taxi Alliance (NTA) on Tuesday to try to resolve the impasse that prompted hundreds of taxi drivers to take to the streets last week.
News24 reported that taxi operators took to the streets after one of their drivers was shot and killed last Tuesday, after accosting an alleged drug dealer.
The taxi operators targeted alleged drug dealers, who were foreign nationals.
