Fikile Mbalula, Transport Minister launched a National Taxi Lekgotla Public Discourse Platform together with stakeholders in the taxi industry.
Mbalula is hoping that the dialogue will be able to fight against issues such as taxi violence, professionalism and regulation of the industry.
Moreover, a national taxi indaba will take place in October.
The discussions will also look at models that include making a case for the apex leadership structure to be a Council, whose leaders must not be encumbered on Associations. We have no intention of elevating Association to a position of an apex industry representative body pic.twitter.com/1FiIDSb1Ed
