“This week we allowed buses and taxis to operate throughout the day in order to accommodate those whoFrom Saturday, taxis are not allowed on the roads between 10am and 4pm.
Mr Mbalula
AGAIN
Stop changing shit
We were left in town with no transport back home because taxis we informed not to transport people after 10am we have to wait till 4pm to go back home when the taxis where opparating again😬
Your country is to big for you to control. 25 years of sitting on your hands. Running a country is more than deep 🏠 and popularity. Its also about the well-being of society. Jobless, crime ridden societies sick people popping pills and party, jive and opressing minorities.
Lol again
Again? 🙉🙉🙉
This person shame
This guy is a fool he is being exposed
I must tell my Pastor to open the church,this is bullshit we are losing money
Bloody Clowns this Government
How are refugees asking of our government to prioritize them when we can barely take care of our very own poverty stricken citizens. As we speak there South African families starving in the chaos of this virus. Can’t their presidents step in ?!!
Time for him to pack his coffers!
How many taxis does he own and how much money is he making out of the taxi industry
This guy needs to retire 21days is not over. Or needs to be isolated with insulation
10 in a taxi, but you can jog, cycle walk you dog alone.
He announces changes every 2 minutes that one
Mbhaks!I did not think u still as energetic as u were in d course of your presidency of ANCYL,I can't really wait to see to u occupying your rightful office in Luthuli house aligning whatever is being damaged as of our last elective!
I blame Ramaphosa for announcing cannabis legal.
Where are these people going too,businesses were opened everywhere to curb traveling with the taxis. Why the need of taxis ngoku.
😔
He is more dangerous than Corona... how comes we allow for such a person to be a minister?
Again
Micky mouse ministers
I hope you are not accusing Mbalula for anything! The changes are so much that you can bet that there is no Emergency Preparedness Plan (Disaster Plan) invoked, it's not a instinctive process!🤔
People tweeting without reading the article...
Agg Fok opentaverns openthebottlestores
we r tired nou
CyrilRamaphosa how do you work with such
When will he stick to one thing? 2 minded
Bathong hape?
dzingizingi
Again no maan!
He supposed to be a minister of entertainment lo Tata
Again?! 🙄🙄
He doesn't know his story.
This pandemic has forced most of these ministers to pull out the proverbial finger and justify their salaries for a change but instead they are found wanting. They spent the major part of their time in office twiddling their fingers or playing politics instead of doing their jobs
The Govt create this monster the taxi industry. Allowed them to ride rough-shod over everybody. No regulation, no taxes, no eTolls, no road rules, no respect....Now they talking about regulating....😡
What now 🤷🤷 full capacity, let them cough on each other 🤧🤧 it's fine 🤷
Don't waste a good crisis. Use the financial incentives as a nudge to bring in formalisation, quick company registrations, driver registration and treat them like small business they are. Protect the drivers as workers. The crisis makes them open for novel practices. cynefin
Yhuuuu hai we are tired now
MbalulaFikile This spineless flip flopper must just put his foot down on these taxi drivers, They’re not above the law
Abantu abake benze izinqumo bahlale kuzona😤 ayi lomagalombe eniwudlalyo Mbalula
Again 🤷🏾♂️
Mbalula owns couple taxis so he was losing money
Again? Jo jo jo this lockdown has really highlighted that our gov doesn't know what the heck they are doing.
The waffling continues unabated hey🤔🤔
This one want to be a celebrity
Many more changes to come for the next two weeks. Stop allowing the taxi industry to dictate to you how to do your job. The fastest way to spread this evil virus, is by mini-bus taxi.
At this rate we might as we get our updates direct from the Taxi Industry
What’s is 70% capacity? How many people is that?
Ona yena waphapha nje
Taxi drivers puppet !!
How many times is he going to make changes!?
Ay ay Mr. Fuwel
I’ve never seen a CONFUSED Minister like this one. He has no clear direction ever since we started lockdown
Mara why you guys always change while you see South Africans are stubborn and ignorant.....they don't care about lockdown......you want us to be like Italy and Spain ?
This one seems so confused 😕 whoever pulling him around should stop already before he cracks
Changes every single day
Vumani madoda bayanohlula onotaxi!!
Mbalula is now known as the changing fixer.......can he just settle down now.....
'An informal industry' - so simply, they pay no taxes. How is it then that they should be allowed assistance?
They are extremely afraid of the Taxi industry.
This guy must be fired CyrilRamaphosa his incompetent
Lol. This one needs to take a nap for the rest of the lockdown.
Again?
This virus is showing how incompetent our government is and was.😊😊
MbalulaFikile the flip flop minister made so many changes announcements during the first 8 days of the lockdown already........he will make a better tv/radio announcer
Razmataz is all show
Mxm leli phixiphixi 🤮🚮
Why should taxis industry be be subsidized. How are they any different to any other business struggling under the lock down. Why do they get special treatment. Just like the man who got arrested for visiting his gf so must taxi drivers abide and be treated same.
Wo o fola lebake and ga le mo rate
“Having an approach with some in lockdown and some roaming freely is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool”
Surely the solution to compensating taxi operators is to give them grants based on tax returns.
I don't recognise that guy...
Again? He is one confused Minister
They don't have solutions only problems because thier not the one's suffering
'There is no manual for handling this, we are fixing the plane as we fly it. Let's be understanding when changes are done and undone'
Minister flip flop
Why is govt failing to regulate the taxi industry? Once SANTACO says yey! They all hide under the table! Start with, no taxi may be registered in a personal name, business entities only. Introduce cashless payments intergrated with buses and trains. Register drivers for UIF!
again 15th time this week MbalulaFikile
What the heck make up your mind.
What a d Fart 💨
🤣🤣🤣 10 in a taxi but u can’t jog alone!!
Lol
Zafa. MbalulaFikile
Tsek... This is old news now...
Again?
He talks too much with very lttl substance.
Nationalise the taxi industry. They must pay tax. They must be controlled.
Are you not 48 hours late with this news... Really News24 AdriaanBasson it's not breaking news!
This one is a joke
