Police Minister calls for a collective approach to solve taxi industry challenges

Police Minister, Bheki Cele, has called for a collective approach to solve the challenges of the taxi industry in the Western Cape.

This follows a violent protest by taxi operators in Cape Town on Tuesday.

The taxi industry in the province alleges that authorities are treating them unfairly and are always harassing them.

Several minibus taxis were impounded in the CBD, resulting in clashes between taxi operators, the police and law enforcement officials.

Cele stated that he will be meeting with local taxi associations and the provincial government to find the underlying cause of the matter.

"Because it looks like there are issues that after speaking to them, there are genuine issues that they're raising that we'll have to speak with the government."
