Gauteng Targets Taxi Crime and Safety | Johannesburg News

Gauteng’s MEC for roads and transport, Kedibone Diale-Tlabela, is sending a firm message: intimidation, threats, and extortion will not be tolerated in the province’s taxi industry. Working with the Provincial Taxi Task Team, she’s cracking down on unlawful conduct, warning that offenders risk losing their licenses and facing legal consequences. Enforcement is already underway — 78 unlicensed drivers were caught, 25 unsafe taxis removed, over 1,000 traffic violations issued, and 16 arrests made, including for bribery and DUI. The goal? A safer, more stable public transport system for all commuters. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
