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.
