Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Summit kicked off on Tuesday. A key sentiment was that taxi operators needed to start thinking of themselves as business owners.
Members of the City of Cape Town, the provincial government, and the South African National Taxi Council (Santaco) Western Cape met following a violent taxi strike in the province earlier in August.
Sporadic incidents of violence have been reported since Thursday afternoon following a decision by the South African National Taxi Council (Santaco) Western Cape to withdraw all minibus taxi operations.
