The centre, which works with the Solidarity Fund and the Department of Health, had deployed teams in the eThekwini District this week to administer vaccines as part of the Covid-19 vaccine drive.
“They got out of the car and called the police, while the group following them also got out of their car. They told our team that they are from the taxi association and proceeded to question my team about what they were doing in the area. After they explained what they were doing, they were told that they were not allowed to function in the area without their permission,” explained Pienaar.
“This also hampers the vaccination rollout as we didn’t vaccinate on Tuesday, Wednesday and also today ,” she stated. He said that the municipal transport authority had made a commitment to engage with all relevant stakeholders regarding this matter.
