It’s a never-ending battle: taxi operators versus motorists. Now, in some parts of Gauteng, taxi associations are shifting gears and redirecting their anger at motorists who share rides with their colleagues, friends or family. As they battle to maintain an iron grip on the public transport market, taxi operators say that carpooling and lift clubs are impacting their bottom line, robbing them of potential clients. And, as the threats escalate, all motorists with more than one passenger in their vehicle could become targets.

Yaa kwenziwa njalo bhut...baythatha fonela itracker
@@sphiwemukavela5653 they will steal your phone even before making a call; tracker system might help
Lawless industry funded with billions of taxpayers funds and pay zero tax; killing wagons with no consequences 😢
Couldn't have said it better myself
Bring public transportation back. When I started working in 1980 I could travel by bus or by train no matter where I worked. The taxi industry through bullying and intimidation have taken away peoples options.
Yes, they vandalize train infrastructure and intimidate security.
ANC and MK politicians owns taxis, its not going to be solved.
@@eleanormaxwell721 they will burn those busses, i don't understand why the government is scared of them.
That government building looks like a scene out of the walking dead 😂😂😂😂 such pride
I'm happy that these acts are finally being brought into light thess guys are very abusive n unruly especially towards their civilians/passengers
They're now stopping parents from dropping and picking up kids at school,. PEOPLE SHOULD STAND UP AGAINST THESE PEOPLE... AKUFE AFAYO ASINGANCINGE ABANYE ABAFANA BAKWEMINYE IMIZI
South Africa is so lawless, goodness.
How in the world is such an ISSUE?
Wow! who would have thought the mini bus taxi industry is run by gangsters..?
Reporting does not help at all. Arm and defend yourself!
3rd world solutions to public transport... What do we expect?
Banana Republic!
South African citizens shouldn’t be bullied by these hooligans!! For all those in law enforcement reading this, Stop being cowards, grow a pair and help the innocent citizens. You imbeciles are getting paid a salary to do so!
@@o.c2231 We’re on our own, mate.
When I retired 9 years ago I sold my car. I totally rely on Uber and Bolt depending where I am. This needs to be stopped.
Be careful.🙏🏽
Some e-hailing drivers are very dangerous.
@@givenmabussi I did the same. I just kept one driver and just call him up when I need transport. Nice gent. Trustworthy
One of the uber guy once told me that one of the taxis association people once requested to West gate mall to just to attack and claim money for stealing customers . Imagine😢
I mean this in a very unironic way: Private security firms should start adding rescue packages to their services.
I was held up and kept hostage,beaten kicked and smacked around for over 4 hours because i was dropping off my staff at a rank.
I eventually had to pay 5K to let me go..........worst off all was this happend right across from a police station
They do this to Uber and Bolt drivers as well!
What are police actively doing about this?? As someone who visits SA with my family, I am seriously worried.
The police is probably getting actively being paid by the taxi mobs to let this happen. Money talks.
I am fortuate enough to had the opportunity to emigrate to Europe in 2020
They not doing anything. It's up to you to stay alert when you here.
Police are taxi owners🤷🏾♂️
Extortion should not be tolerated,but hey. And also why isn't the association paying tax?
The gov gave power to taxi mafia to retain power... not so easy to get it back. The rest of the world building superb public transit systems (check out Curitiba's (Brazil) excellent BRT system), while SA regresses into lawlessness & mayhem.
Public transit takes decades to complete, the later we start the more difficult to undertake. SA cities falling further & further behind global best practice standards.
Taxi associations have unfetted power
Monsters of the public, roads and themselves
Banana Republic and utter lawlessness ridden with junk
Citizens allow this to happen, these people's business wouldn't survive without the people. It's high time they kneel to us.
Carte Blanche, could you please do a story on why the traffic police is not enforcing the law?
Nothing will change. There are far more incentives to be dishonest in this lawless country.
Unfortunetly, I have to agree with you.
They once kidnapped me and my friend at bosman forced us to use their taxi and not leave with a lift we had organized
People simply know the rules and how things are done in their areas. The best way is to comply and not get hurt. As a sane person never compete with a taxi driver with your private car...
This needs to stop, the public has a right to decide how they want to travel to and from home😡
It's been years since I've used a taxi, thank you Uber and Bolt!!!
Now i can avoid these idiots
Santaco is useless
very, i have been saying man
These are people that fought for freedom, right?
So what. What does this mean ?
@@makhosinidube7950 It means the government that the majority vote for is so lawless and backwards that this is allowed and not stopped, no more dompass but you're not allowed to give your friend or children a lift incase a taxi drivers finds you.
Uber eats on their bikes are the worst! I almost got hit by one as I was crossing the rode on a green pedestrian light. The other day I witnessed a mother with her two children got hit by an Uber whom turned on a red robot while the lady’s robot was green, and this specific Uber eats biker had no license on his person or a proof insurance.
My daughter and her co workers were stopped in Conubia Durban by a taxi driver. The Taxi driver accused the driver of the car of taking away their business. The driver (a white person) told the taxi driver that the people in the car were family but he pointed to my daughter and the other person( black female) and said they could not be his family. The driver of the car accelerated and got away. The ordeal has traumatised my daughter who hasn't worked since then (2019)
No sir... nothing is being done about it.
Taxi owners do not consider themselves business men or women. If they did that would entail formalizing and legitimizing their business (Admin, tax, standards, reporting bad driving, fines for non compliance) and actually competing and offering their customers a great service like any other business. Instead what you have are mobs masquerading as entrepreneurs. These are the kinds of people who hold back the countries development.
"A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation." - Gustavo Petro
These are people with the social skills of goats
We got stopped by taxi association goons in the Western Cape while on holiday because we were in an Avanza. They said we should've notified the local taxi rank that we are on holiday 😬
It's been 30 years hey and we don't have proper public transport networks in our cities. In fact, we've done backwards and destroyed what little we had. If the Taxi Mafia is so afraid of Uber, build proper integrated mixed use public transport infrastructure that completely destroys their business. South Africans are tired of being ruled over my mafioso. Almost every other major country has public transport infrastructure. Cars are way too expensive here relative to income levels.
As long as registered owners are not held liable for the conduct of nameless and faceless drivers of their vehicles, this will not end. Every person has the freedom to choose who they wish to contract with, including fare paying passengers. This lawlessness has permeated every sphere of life and the authorities are either complicit or simply look the other way.
Profits above people is not what batho pele means
Ive seen them on the roads here in limpopo
This is a disgrace to the taxi industry...
They going to have a meeting about it, and then another meeting, and a stern letter. Were are the police
In a country that used to have trains that transported hundreds of people a little over 50 years ago. This is what it has become?
I swear, these idiots would slaughter a golden goose just because they wanted some chicken nuggets.
Arm yourself 💪🏾🔝💪🏾
They are law unto themselves,they are police officers themselves😢
Problem is police and jmpd is scared of taxis. In jhb they do as they want. In Cape town they are taken into custody for breaking the law. We are seeing taxis driving in one ways up daily. Jmpd where are you??
This all started with Zuma and Beki Cele. I wouldnt put it past these guys to be owning hundreds of taxis, hence them not taking any action
And we think we live in a democracy 😂
Stop making taxis?
