Taxi groups point fingers at each other

By Chanel September
A meeting was held with police yesterday, to discuss the problems of taxi’s operating illegally on routes between Kraaifontein and Capegate shopping Mall in Brackenfell. Police patrols monitored the situation after weekend tension between Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (Cata) and the Congress of Democratic Taxi Association (Codeta). David Speelman chairmain of Codeta said that there was an agreement between them and Cats that only taxi permits should be allowed on the routes. However there was tension this morning because Cata members now want to change the arrangement. Both groups and the police declined to reveal any details of yesterday’s talks.
