There are about 20 000 taxi drivers who will receive the training.

‘’We transport 90% of the community and that community is our mothers, fathers, children, and it is important to take this iniative and ensuring our communities are safe and not be bystanders in this fight against gender-based violence,’’ said Gershon Geyer, SANTACO Second Deputy Chairperson in the Western Cape.
