Taxi operators with valid operating permits may resume services in their operating areas, except for B97 route Mbekweni in Paarl to Bellville which will remain closed.
The government said their intervention constitutes tangible action to stabilise the taxi industry operations in the Western Cape and said it will continue to work closely with other law-enforcement authorities to ensure the safety of the public and ensure the rule of law underpins operations.
The government committed to meet the appointed arbitrator to expedite the arbitration process and to issue an award within the shortest possible time frame. “In addition, both associations will be suspended or deregistered by after the prescribed process. This will be done in the interest of public safety and other operators will be authorised to provide replacement services,” reads the statement.
