Divisions within the taxi industry once again played out at the Gauteng provincial indaba at Ellis Park Arena in Johannesburg. The South African National Taxi Council (Santaco) and National Taxi Alliance (NTA)) are at the event convened by the Gauteng provincial government.The gathering is being held to pave way for the summit scheduled for July in which operational problems affecting the taxi industry will be discussed.NTA secretary general Alpheus Mlalazi said they had abandoned the march they had planned against the government. However‚ Santaco said it was gearing up for a march on Monday."We have suspended the strike because the government is listening to us. We cannot be talking and striking at the same time‚" Mlalazi said.However‚ his counterpart in Santaco‚ BJ Mkhonza‚ assured the gathering that they will be marching to the offices of the premier‚ David Makhura‚ and transport and community safety MECs Ismail Vadi and Sizakele Nkosi-Malobane respectively.However‚ the two parties spoke in solidarity on their grievance they have with government. Their complaints include the impounding of taxis‚ slow issuing of operating licences and the recent licensing of Uber taxis.They have questioned the legal operation of the Uber taxis‚ claiming that there is no legislation regulating Uber.Makhura assured taxi operators that their complaints would be addressed at the summit. He also told them that they would be considered in other economic developments which include the expansion of Gautrain and giving taxi operators ownership of taxi ranks‚ which are currently owned by municipalities.TMG Digital/Sowetan..
