‘’School children of any age would be allowed to use private scholar transport.’’
This response from taxi association, SA National Taxi Council
(SANTACO), comes after a message circulated online stating that no learner are allowed
to use private scholar transport vehicles as from 1 September 2024.
It is alleged that the letter originated from a taxi
association operating in Fish Hoek in Masiphumelele.
‘’As Santaco, we have engaged with the CATA Regional Taxi
Council to establish the veracity of the letter. We further engaged the
Chairperson of the primary association in Masiphumelele, who has assured
Santaco WC that there is no truth in the contents of the letter that is in
circulation. NO learners will be prevented from using private scholar
transport,’’ assured Mandla Hermanus, Santaco Chairperson in the Western Cape.
He says the association has conveyed the same message to
the community of Masiphumelele at a community meeting held on Wednesday
afternoon.
