Gavin Kelly, CEO of the Road Freight Association in South Africa, said the issues at harbours have been coming for several years.
Mechanics in the informal economy seem to be the big winners from the rise in popularity of e-hailing in South Africa.
Though there is a major emphasis to get IPPs on board to contribute to the country's electricity grid to tackle its power crisis, some in the sector are worried about Eskom's strict operation conditions.
A Johannesburg resident, who uses Uber, says she has witnessed several incidents where meter taxi drivers mistreated and threatened e-hailing drivers, forcing them to pay fines of R1 000 for picking up and dropping people off at Park Station.
The agreement will see e-hailing taxis drop off their passengers at the gates, with South African E-hailing Association spokesman Vhatuka Mbelengwa saying on Thursday talks would continue on Friday.
