Gauteng Public Transport and Roads Infrastructure MEC Jacob Mamabolo condemned the actions of the driver of a minibus taxi that overturned on the M1 in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
According to Mamabolo, it was reported that the minibus taxi from the Ennerdale Taxi Association, which was carrying 15 passengers, overturned near the Xavier off-ramp.“We strongly condemn this behaviour by the taxi driver and call on law enforcement agencies to enforce the regulations without fear or favour. The driver must face the full might of the law for contravening regulations,” said Mamabolo.
This, Mamabolo said, was unacceptable because the government consulted the taxi industry on the regulations announced by Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula. “The regulations that are in place, especially for this period, are there to protect the lives of the people. Anyone who shows disregard for the regulations is definitely not assisting our efforts to flatten the curve and stop the spread of Covid-19,” said Mamabolo.
Eish taxi driver neh! They all behave like grade 2 dropouts and they own the roads of South Africa as they are above the law.

Bullying, were there no pictures of Spar prices circulating on social media? If Spar gets away with this, Dischem will pull the same thing and so will Pick n Pay. He thought freedom of speech is the way to go, now he wants help against the lawsuit. Sometimes just shut up. So let me get this right...1 Spar claims R3m from 1 person who claims price hiking, but Spar put up posters nationally causing people to abandon pets and only pledge R400k support?
