The Western Cape Taxi Association says it is good that they are afforded an opportunity to go to the summit and raise their concerns but the organization says the only problem they might have is for government to go head with their transport plans and say they have consulted Western Cape Taxi Association.

Chairperson of the Association Junied Peters says yes we are in favour of the new plan for transport as long as ownership of such a plan is given to the current owners.

‘We have had this business for over more than 50 years generations before us and I do not think it is fair to give someone a five year contract , after working hard to built something.’’

‘And then you have big guns coming with their money after manoeuvring us, sending us to unemployment’, says Peters.

“We only in favour of the plan as long as the ownership is given to current owners of the transport feternity.”
