This is disruption
Results of a nonchalant government 🚮
A lot is happening in the cauntri
Barbaric 3rd world zombies. SA going nowhere slowly
Hailing service are olso South Africans trying to survive in this country under the anc,taxi industry are bullies they own every taxi rank in the country, every route and drive badly with rotten taxis and government fears them
Nothing will be resolved because high ranking police and politicians own taxis.
The same issue exists in Pretoria as well, they don’t want Uber, they rob the drivers.
Only western cape knows how to deal with these taxs owners and taxs driver
Our government needs to do something with this, if taxi Association or owners think they are above the law and they run this SA then war declared against them, akere bona ba nagana ke di gun man and murderers, if the government is failing to get this under control then it means our corrupt government is in their pockets.
People must understand that taxi association, they run the transport business in South Africa , these people they don't want competition,it's they source of income.
Just another day in SA…..
Jan van Riebeecks's fault, of course
Yaaah really this is banana Republic 🤣
They must shut Taxi rank not mall
Uber drivers niyazi ama taxi ahlalalaphi niyazi o driver bahlalaphi okunye sokuzwa endabeni
These taxi dudes need to calm down there's enough money around for everyone
Taxi industry boss don't even allow family members to use taxi's politician don't even know the inside of a taxi but ordinary people are forced to use taxi's which are not safe
Bayanya ama taxi driver, aba buyele emakhaya ezilalini
No more taxis for a least 10kilometers from our shopping malls,this people thinks they own us, even in South gate it's a problem.
Our taxi industry their very selfish they are even fight with Rea vaya
Anc to blame
It's about time for government to intervene in this taxi industry.
