Passengers needing an Uber or Taxify ride on Monday have been warned to seek alternative transport.
Drivers have likened their working conditions to slavery and will be downing tools on Monday.
They want the public to be aware of the conditions they are working under and also expressed their concern about the rising fuel cost which was lowering their income.
Safety is also a concern as there is constantly a congestion on the app that they use to raise the alarm.
There are 12 000 Uber drivers in South Africa.
A Spokesperson Vhatuka Mbelengwa said talks with the companies have reached a stalemate and they will disrupt services until the Minister of Transport Blade Nzimande agrees to urgent reforms.
Parliament is still deliberating about proposed amendments to the National Land Transport Act, including a clause instructing e-hailing operators to deny access to their systems to any driver without the necessary operating licence.
Under the clause, ridesharing and e-hailing companies that fail to comply could pay a fine of up to R100,000 and drivers are also subject to the fine as well as two years imprisonment.
