Cape Town will know by Wednesday whether or not they need to brace themselves for yet another violent taxi strike.

The National Taxi Alliance announced yesterday that they would inform the associated taxi bodies on when and how they would embark on the strike.

Taxi operators in the City are opposing the Bus Rapid Transit system, which is to be introduced before the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Mayor Helen Zille announced earlier this week that she would call the army in, to maintain order.

Zille is expected to meet with Western Cape Premier Lynne Brown, later today.
