IFP welcomes reopening of Soweto taxi routes
JOHANNESBURG - The Inkatha Freedom Party said on Tuesday that it welcomes the Gauteng Department of Transport MEC Jacob Mamabolo’s resolution to reopen the Soweto taxi routes, which had been closed earlier this year.
Disgruntled taxi operators had also resorted to blockading the city centre in protest of the route closures. "We are pleased as the IFP that sanity has prevailed in the end and hope that a lasting solution will be put in place to ensure that the people of this province are never again inconvenienced because of the battles involving taxi associations and government," said the party in Gauteng.
"From this experience, we hope that both parties will learn to respect and take each other serious because their fallout also affects commuters who are reliant of this mode of transport," said the IFP.
