Lockdown: Santaco wants R250 a day compensation for taxi drivers
Santaco Gauteng chairperson Buti Mkhonza said the council had requested coronavirus financial relief from the government, adding it welcomed its commitment to assist the taxi industry.
“Government and our national leadership are working on the modalities on how much an operator will be paid according to their permits. We are very happy that Mbalula has confirmed that in a week’s time he will come to us and explain how they will assist us.
“We also welcome government help to formalise the industry. We lost few billions during lockdown. Our members have suffered a lot and we are feeling it now.
“We are ensuring that we are obeying regulations and our drivers are enforcing all regulations. We are happy with the assistance from government,” said Mkhonza.
