The
Cape Chamber
of Commerce
President
of the Chamber Janine Myburgh said every incident of violence and murder is a
personal tragedy affecting many people, but the wider significance is that it
undermines the whole public industry in the City.
Myburgh
added that the mini-bus taxi industry is beyond doubt a vital part of the
economy of the city and provides work for many people including those who drive
and maintain the vehicles.
“We
need to understand the problems and find solutions. It does not help to see
only the negatives in terms of the safety record of the taxi-bus industry and
the violence.
We
must also look at the positives and the potential of the industry and how it
can better serve our people. It is in everybody’s interest to have a successful
and safe mini-bus taxi industry,” Myburgh
