ANA reports that the SA National Taxi Council (Santaco) in Gauteng has suspended its plans to strike and march on the provincial government offices on 4 July.
On Thursday, during the Ntirhisano provincial taxi indaba at the Standard Bank Arena in Johannesburg, Santaco said its members would embark on a strike and march on Monday. But on Friday, Santaco’s Gauteng office said the decision to suspend the plans came after the council’s leadership met Premier David Makhura. This was confirmed by the premier. At the meeting, Santaco handed over to the premier a memorandum of their grievances and demands, which would have been delivered at Monday’s march. The matters raised in the memorandum would be dealt with as part of the process towards the Gauteng taxi summit to be held this month, Makhura said.
