City of Cape Town
The Taxi Strike in the Western Cape has been called off with immediate effect.
The nine-day-long strike brought the city of Cape Town to a standstill while five people lost their lives.
SANTACO published a statement on their Twitter account expressing its profound relief at the end of the strike noting the immense pressure on all parties involved.
According to an agreement reached, the next two weeks will be utilised to work towards the release of the vehicles that were wrongly impounded.
The Premier of the Western Cape Alan Winde and Executive Mayor of Cape Town, Jeordin Hill-Lewis will brief the media on the resolution on Friday.
On Tuesday, the City of Cape Town accused the National Minister of Transport of spreading misinformation as all taxis were impounded for offences under the National Land Transport Act (NLTA).
