ANA reports that the Tshwane municipality on Thursday suspended its Tshwane Bus Service after several buses were stoned when taxi drivers and operators embarked on a crippling protest across Gauteng.
Municipality spokesperson Selby Bokaba said other services offered by the municipality could also be affected as some of the city employees resided in areas affected by the protest action and were thus unable to report for duty due to the unavailability of public transport. He advised that the municipality would inform residents once the situation had returned to normal. Tshwane apologised for the disruption of service. The taxi operators, aligned to the South African National Taxi Council (Santaco), were protesting against what they called high repayment fees on their vehicles.
