Taxis operating again in Durban after unrest

He said he was happy that they are working even though there are fewer commuters.

Rank manager from the Umhlanga Taxi Association, Phila Mbatha said the challenges they faced last week affected their business but they are adamant that this week things will pick up. “About four retail shops are operating at Gateway Shopping Mall so we are able to take commuters to and from there. We hope that more will open.

“We call for calm. We understand that some people need what they need but we are against the looting, stealing, torching of properties, many of our brothers and sisters have lost their jobs. We can’t afford to lose the little that we already have. All taxis are operating. We hope that the situation will soon get back to normal,” Mbatha said.“We struggled and had to stay at home last week when there were protests. For the number of days that I have lost I will not get paid,” Mdlalose said.

Taxi association Santaco-KZN also confirmed that the taxis are operating at full capacity without experiencing any problems.
