Amid a taxi strike, the City of Cape Town’s JP Smith says they won’t submit to a call by Santaco to halt vehicle impoundments.
The city has decided to impound vehicles of motorists who disregard road rules such as overloading and failing to stop when instructed to by a traffic officer, rather than issue fines.
Santaco in the Western Cape embarked on a strike on Thursday after a meeting with the city calling for the relevant bylaw to be reversed. The umbrella taxi association has vowed to protest until next Wednesday.
The City of Cape Town and Santaco will have another meeting on Monday.
