The seizure of Air Zimbabwe’s aircraft in South Africa, which is the airline’s only operational aircraft after all of its planes were grounded, forced it to cancel its Harare-Johannesburg flight on Thursday, including its domestic flights between Harare-Bulawayo and Victoria Falls. “That’s what is happening.

Residents wary of more taxi strikes as city of Cape Town impounds 132 taxisResidents are wary that taxi strikes may disrupt their evening commute once again after last week saw taxi bosses take action against what they believe are unfair measures against the associations from the City of Cape Town. Taxi drivers somehow get away with everything. They are above the law. Impound taxis for traffic violations but not for permits which CT refuse to give. Impound yards filled with non-white vehicles (owners) but not 1 owner of white vehicle impounded yet they drink at wine estates but no road blocks. Constantia main rd example We should be asking why three taxis were impounded in the first place.
