The Citizen reports that there appears to be no end in sight for the feud between Soweto taxi operators as one of the parties remains headstrong in agreeing on a proposed route plan.
The Witwatersrand Taxi Association (Wata) and Nancefield Dube West Taxi Association (Nanduwe) remain in talks for a way forward to end turf wars that resulted in Gauteng roads and transport MEC Ismail Vadi closing their ranks and routes for three months. The National Taxi Alliance (NTA), which represents both associations, said they were working on a plan to ensure an end to the feud. NTA spokesperson Theo Malele indicated that some progress had been made, although one party had still to agree on the proposed operational plan. He anticipated that by midweek at the latest there should be some progress. This was in an attempt to persuade Vadi to lift his closure from two weeks ago. The closure of the taxi ranks is expected to last until June should the taxi associations not find an amicable way forward. A number of people have been killed with several wounded due to the ongoing turf wars.
