A meeting between Transport Minister Jeff Radebe and the National Taxi Alliance been postponed for two weeks, halting a possible week long strike.
The meeting in Pretoria on Friday focussed on the memorandum of grievances which were delivered to the department last month.
Taxis protested against the recapitalisation plan which could se more than 10 000 old taxis being scrapped by December.
According to the Cape Times, owners will be paid R50 000 for each legally registered old minibus taxi scrapped.
However Radebe says that the recapitalisation programme was irreversible adding that the plan would not be stalled by protest action.
