Following protest action by the National Taxi Alliance outside the provinces Department of Transport this morning, Minister Robin Carlisle met with a five member delegation of the group led by Mandla Mata.
The delegation presented the Minister with a memorandum outlining a list of their demands.
One of their main demands was for the Minister to release all vehicles that had been impounded during law enforcement operations.
The Minister made it clear to the delegation that neither he nor law enforcement agencies would ever agree to a release of impounded vehicles.
“There is no way I can release all impounded vehicles, particularly those that pose a danger to human lives” said Carlisle.
Carlisle has requested the delegation to provide him with a list of ‘special cases’ of impounded vehicles which he agreed to urgently consider for release in consultation with law enforcement agencies and the Department of Justice.
The Minister urged the delegation to ensure that CATA and CODETA associations attend the regional and provincial annual general meetings of the order to present the broadest and legitimate representation of the minibus taxi industry in the province.
