Taxi lekgotla could yield no results if it only pays lip service, warns Reginald Kgwedi | Citypress

This is according to Reginald Kgwedi, founder of the Transport and Logistics Students’ Association, who told City Press that “this is in reference to the objectives of taxi lekgotla and pulling out [of the lekgotla] by the National Taxi Association ”.

“The taxi industry itself is formalised, but government is not regulating it. It is regulated in that before I buy a taxi I need to go through a taxi association and there is a process to be followed. So in that instance it is regulated. It is government [that is] falling short. The problem lies with our government,” he said.Kgwedi said government must do better by the industry.

“Without the taxi industry we would not have mobility in South Africa. If we do not address the institutional issues, the problems faced now will persist, with or without the lekgotla.”Kgwedi lamented the lack of youth representation at the lekgotla. “The NTA’s input should be part of the imagined future of the taxi industry. He has acknowledged that and he is working on how best the NTA should be treated,” Malele told City Press.

Did Mr fix it invited Reginald Kgwedi?

If given as much as SAA in bailouts we be paying R10 to go to work than R45 we pay now.
