“The decisions made at the lekgotla should not have a negative impact on our business and should that be the case, we will test their constitutionality through our justice system,” NTA spokesperson Theo Malele said.Speaking at the lekgotla, Mbalula said: “We must not speak past each other as if we are singing on stage ... We must talk facing each other.

“The NTA maintained that it will not participate in a process that violates the freedom of association as enshrined in the constitution and seeks to deliver the taxi industry to the highest bidder,” Malele said. Speaking at the opening of the lekgotla on Thursday, President Cyril Ramaphosa said the formalisation, regulation and economic empowerment of the taxi industry is at the forefront of government's endeavours to improve the industry.

“These include the issue of labour relations and allegations of exploitation of workers, the high number of road accidents involving taxis, the industry's response to the rise of e-hailing services, and compliance with tax laws.

The taxi industry will not FAIL like Prasa and SAA,so Mbalula just leave it the way it is,focus on Prasa and SAA and where is the money you promised the industry, since well SAA keeps on getting bails out just to stay a float 😏😏😏
