Taxi strike leaves Joburg commuters stranded

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Commuters in and around Johannesburg should make alternative transport plans as some taxi organisations embark on a one day shut-down on Monday, to protest against what they say is ill treatment of the industry by government.

Commuters across taxi ranks have been trying to arrange transport as a number of taxi organisations embark on the strike.

The main routes affected are Alexandra, Randburg, Midrand and Sandton, although other routes may well be affected if operators decide to block roads, as they have in the past.

The one day shut-down comes as a result of what the operators deem ill-treatment by the government.

Among other things, they are complaining about fuel increases and the impounding of vehicles they claim are still roadworthy by the city.
