The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has issued a call for a 'shutdown' in the Western Cape on Monday, 2 October. The South African National Taxi Alliance (NTA) has distanced itself from the EFF's proposed shutdown, despite the fact that the release of impounded taxis is one of the party's stated reasons
Santaco’s deputy chairperson, Nceba Enge, confirmed that while the taxi association acknowledges the protest it won’t be partaking in the shutdown planned for Monday.
Minister Allen said the teams are prepared and any attempts to incite chaos will be met with the full force of the law. Malcolm Pojie, the police spokesperson clarified that they were informed about a scheduled march, rather than a provincial shutdown and confirmed that no taxis would be involved in the protest.
‘Some political parties and civic organisations will join their march including the South African National Civics Association, limited to 1000 participants,’ he explained.
