JOHANNESBURG - E-hailing taxi drivers in Johannesburg blocked roads in protest against their working conditions on Wednesday.The drivers have submitted a memorandum of demands to their employers and have given them until Tuesday to respond.
One driver shared,"we are getting assaulted in our association by taxi association patrol because we are an - hailing company who have nothing to prove." "How are they letting us pay more than R1000 a driver per week? It's for affiliation, and they don't even compensate us. Our drivers are getting robbed and assaulted. There are hotspots where killings and hijacks are possible. We lost more phones there but cases are not being opened."
Oscar Mukhari, an owner and driver said,"we are concerned about the safety of our drivers. Someone can buy a SIM card from a spaza shop and access the app and then call the car when the car gets there they attack the driver and take everything. At the end of the day, it's our cars. We pay the instalments for the car. They are having a commission of 27% and I don't get anything."
How is blocking the roads going to help their working conditions? Who is their employer? Everyone in SA is being hijacked or robbed, MPs are the only ones safe. Let us see if things will have changed tomorrow.
Why ?
Yes this is chaos, here in South Africa. Where everyone thinks they are more special than everyone else in the world, and the the world owes them something. People were not ready for democracy. That is why most African countries have been brutalized by dictatorships.

DA-led Joburg metro was close to financial ruin, says MakhuboFormer mayor Herman Mashaba says the city was in good financial health when he left and Geoff Makhubo has a long history of 'crying wolf' Didn’t you and your EFF chommies with the help of Jerman steal the City bankrupt?! Kak praat Can you please fact check his statement, and ask him to show you factually, what the state of COJ was when ANC ran it, and contrast it to when Mashaba ran it. We want facts, not politics. Please do this for us, we beg you.
