The protest march by the National Taxi Alliance (NTA) scheduled for Thursday in Pretoria has been officially suspended.
That announcement was made by Acting Director-General Mathabatha Mokonyama of the Department of Transport, alongside NTA representatives, at a media briefing at the department’s offices in Pretoria.
This followed meetings between Minister Joe Maswanganyi and the leadership of the NTA. Challenges raised by the industry related to the public transport subsidy, the taxi recapitalisation programme and compensation for operators surrendering operating licenses, amongst other issues. The NTA said that if nothing came by 8 November of engagements with the department then the protest action would resume.
