Minibus taxis and other e-hailing taxi services such as Uber and Bolt will only be allowed on the roads between the hours of 5am to 9am and 4pm to 8pm if they carry essential workers, as announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday.

Vehicles licenced to carry eight people may only carry three passengers and vehicles licenced to carry four people may only carry one person.Public transport including e-hailing services such as Uber will only be allowed to travel if they are carrying essential workers or passengers who want to buy food, seeking payment of grants or seeking healthcare.

People get your cameras ready to film and photograph the incompetent SAPS and SANDF. Both compromised by cadre deployment. Expect rioting , looting and destruction of infrastructure. ANC government cannot even make the taxi industry obey the law..
