IOL reports that two of Cape Town’s taxi associations, namely the Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (Cata) and the Congress of Democratic Taxi Association (Codeta), have confirmed a joint march to Western Cape Premier Alan Winde’s offices on Thursday morning.
According to SA National Taxi Council (Santaco) spokesperson Gershon Geyer, Codeta and Cata will “present a memorandum containing a set of grievances that they have as an industry, especially those operating in townships”. The list of grievances include impoundments of taxis, unfair requirements for release of impounded taxis and various other issues directly affecting the Cape’s taxi industry. The march to Winde’s Wale Street offices in Cape Town was approved after the associations submitted an application. As a result, none of the routes associated with Codeta and Cata will be operational on Thursday. “Cata and Codeta gave their assurances that there will be no interference and intimidation of the other regions that will be operating as per normal,” Geyer said. Other transport services – such as trains and buses – are expected to continue as normal.
