Mamabolo pleased with verification, authentication process as Soweto taxi routes re-open

Gauteng MEC for roads and transport Jacob Mamabolo on Wednesday said he was satisfied with the successful verification and authentication of Witwatersrand Taxi Association and Nancefield Dube West Association minibus taxis.More than a hundred minibus taxis went through the verification and authentication process and were issued with bright orange identification stickers, before immediately resuming operations.

The reopening of the routes that had been closed following violent confrontations between the two associations after they came up with an agreement which they signed at the historic Hector Pieterson Memorial in Soweto.“I am pleased with the cooperation that we have received from both associations. I believe what we’ve been able to achieve in a few days sets the bar high and I think the taxi industry is destined for a better future if we continue working together in this manner,” Mamabola said.

He added that the resumption of operations is not an end on its own, but the beginning of continuous engagements and consultations between the two associations and the department.
