The Western Cape National Taxi Alliance has taken to the streets in spite of being in dialogue with the City of Cape Town and the Western Cape Provincial Government.

The meeting was held by the City of Cape Town and WC-NTA on the 3rd of August to address the concerns that the taxi operators have.

“The issues of concern raised by the WC-NTA in this meeting were mainly non-IRT related issues, such as warrants of arrest and outstanding traffic fines.

“The City of Cape Town has presented the WC-NTA with repeated opportunities to acquire and share information regarding the IRT system. The WC-NTA has refused all of these opportunities,” said spokesperson for the City of Cape Town Trevor Steyn.

The WC-NTA has had several opportunities to be informed about the IRT and they have refused all of them added Steyn.
