Some taxi drivers in Cape Town today are continuing to protest even though the taxi strike has been suspended.

Transport Minister Sbu Ndebele said yesterday in a joint news conference that normal public transport has been restored, to normality with no further delays.

Cape Town Transport MEC Robin Carlisle said he received reports of buses being stoned in Delft and Khayelitsha.

South African National Taxi Council spokesperson Mvuyisi Mente said many of its members do not have cell phones and they have not yet been informed that the strike was suspended on Tuesday.

A meeting is expected to be held today by Santaco to inform its members about the strike being suspended.
