@@FezekaBonda there are times when taxi associations halt their operations, perhaps to boycott some price hikes, commuters do find ways of getting to work. I believe when people are fed up, they always find a way of getting the message across. I cannot believe that a group of people should be allowed to hold the entire country hostage in this manner and they are getting away with it! Only in a lawless country like ours. It’s unacceptable.
Taxi Association people bully us at every part of Johannesburg. I have been late for work many times because they instructed me to get off my colleague's car which was going to the exact same office I worked at. Their taxis struggle to accommodate all of us during peak times in the morning and evening, they will rather you wait and get to work late or use one of their taxis that drops you off far from your workplace. Taxis are such bullies I am so grateful to be working from home now, they tormented me for years. I hate taxis to this day.
There's no political will to stop this criminality - it has been coming on for many, many years - 2015 my friend gave 2 African ladies a lift from Rhodes university in Grahamstown to Port Elizabeth - 10 minutes into their journey they were forced off the road by 2 cars 7 men brandishing firearms - forced him to take them back - many traffic officers and even police have a finger in the pie of this criminal industry
But as the public we also need to stop and intervene when we see such criminal behaviour happening to other motorists. We cant always rely on others to do for us even the basics things that we can do ourselves.
When the DA was confronting these taxi thugs head on in Cape Town it was labelled racist or anti-black business. Sometimes hypocrisy of fellow black people makes me sick.

Thank you Clement, this issue used to annoy me when I lived in South Africa. my uber driver and I were detained for close on 2 hours at TUT gate (Pretoria West ) by 2 taxis, wielding knives.the driver was forced to withdraw R2500(in 2021). They literally went with him to the ATM to get the money while I remained locked in the car. Absolutely traumatic
They have even been harassing Intercape but no one paid attention. We know that they are the ones who have stripped railway stations in order to boost their businesses
This always happens in KZN even Uber drivers trying to make an honest living are bullied ....certain areas in Dbn are a no go area...i hope everyone protects themselves
This happened to us few days ago. I'm new in the area of Katlehong. Relocated from Pretoria to around Alrode. I found out after weeks gore my colleague lives near me, so he started to pick me up. Suddenly we were stopped by this car, and he told my colleague to park at the rank cos he's seizing the car. He told us he will involve the association, or we should give him R500 so that he can "protect" us. My colleague refused, and started to contact his police officer friends. One of the taxi drivers saw what was happening, and he came to solve the situation. We agreed to pay him by the 28th, that's when he let us go. I even moved out where i lived cos i promised I'll get back to them. They're never seeing my money. Ba nyela
Taxi associations have had a say , they don’t want train rails and trains to be fixed otherwise it affects their business, they will cause mayhem if it were to happen
I had two taxis and sold it out. The is too many taxis with no permits. This going to be worst and people are going to die. They are stopping staff vehicles

Especially with rapidly rising fuel costs, which have a knock-on effect on everything... including taxi fare. They're now acting like spoilt brats who demand special attention because why?

We have here in Cato Ridge KZN it's cheap with Aircon and everything and always on time if late you are informed or they bring busses to pick us up 😊 I love the trains and buses
They will end up dragging people from their homes to come and ride in their taxis because technology will take them out of business when people start adopting working from home and buying online. They will harass courier cars, claiming they are taking their jobs.
They stop every race. There's a documentary of whites people who are in construction complaining about Taxi association on carte blanch. They said taxi associations don't want them to transport their own staff, whenever they would find them having people at the back of barkie, they would wanna pound the car
The government is the problem here and not the taxi industry alone. The government sells routes to the industry and punish those taxies that don't have permits to operate in those routes. Now when we the public either offer lifts to people we know or strangers (and sometimes for a fee as in hitchhikers), we are interpreted as undermining these operational agreements. Government must update their policies when addressing taxi routes. No one here has ever been allowed to eat their KFC wings in Chicken Licken before. The taxis are harassing the public because the government is failing on their policies

As South Africa increase their middle class more people will be able to afford cars. So as people become more successful and own their own cars. They are bullied if they have people in their cars. This is crazy.
I was listening to that rude man from taxi association. The audacity yooo. I was so mad. I wish they can take mine I will report it stolen then tracker can show them
They tried this nonsense on me and fortunately for them, JMPD intervened…I would’ve been in a prison cell as we speak, no man will tell me what to do. One of us must go
We as citizens are being informed that those that stop us "have no right to do so" while they're continuingly doing so at the exact same areas/spots every single day and twice on pay day(s). Rights are just wishes if they aren't being enforced and or protected. SANTACO is talking ideals while ignoring actual lived realities ... Sadly, we as a people must either do something or cave to them as we watch it only continue to grow worse. And SAPS cant really help when a good portion of them are themselves taxi owners
I was once stoped in the Vaal and commandered to the taxi rank while driving with my collegue. On the way they stopped another car and we were forced into a convoy. When we reached the taxi rank i just kept quite and the other guy was resisting and got schamboked. I remained quiet 🤫 and later they tried to demand money from me and fortunately i didnt have a cent. I still proved that my collegue is my colleague because we both had business cards.
This taxi business is hell in Mzansi. This is abuse of black people's rights. This is abuse of freedom. It is evidence of a failing state. Police are failing to protect civilians. This abuse is not only against South Africans but even international drivers from surrounding countries which will affect tourism too. Taxi people are making a beautiful country a pain to live in.
we heard it all SAPS, Metro Police Traffic Police just act on the situation for a day or two after that its back to normal, taxi drivers are just criminals. some are involve in cith and extortion
Taxi Association they think are owning Toyota Avanza ,we as citizens have a right to buy this vehicle to use as a private car and carry our own family members but patrollers they can stop you and demand money.
😂😂😂😂 Really? Are you not aware that the ANC gave them free reign YEARS ago for their votes? Good luck with the ANC - this is their mess, created by them. The taxis own the ANC. It's common knowledge.
These have been let out of hand in many instances, they block Ubers and bolt cars in other pick up areas, e.g. Malls, Gautrain stations. They have caused a lot of damage and drama. Sadly police just watch, please intervene before hurt many people.
We must boycott these taxis. Their businesses exist because of passengers, not the other way round.

Heei this taxi patrollers they are owning south africa.they do it in front of traffic police.i saw it in the dendron Polokwane road .they are robbing South African,they demand hard cash to release you
That's what they did and I hated the thing called a taxi
Hi Clement.this has beenhappening 4 many years.the govt n police know about this 4 many years n there is no actionagainst them
Police are also taxi owners and some government officials so they are protecting their business that is why they are so quiet about this behavior.
Or just ban them and say buses only see when yu own a bus yu have high costs some discipline is installed
Even in klerksdorp,some even points guns to motorists en force people out from cars
As South Africa increase their middle class more people will be able to afford cars. So as people become more successful and own their own cars. They are bullied if they have people in their cars. This is crazy.
a permit to give a lift 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The arrogance of the man my gosh. Sickening
This is wrong, they take your car and that is hijacking, they stop you from moving and that is imprisonment. There has to be a law against.
It's worse in the Eastern Cape
I was listening to that rude man from taxi association. The audacity yooo. I was so mad. I wish they can take mine I will report it stolen then tracker can show them
They tried this nonsense on me and fortunately for them, JMPD intervened…I would’ve been in a prison cell as we speak, no man will tell me what to do. One of us must go
The most hated people in RSA
We as citizens are being informed that those that stop us "have no right to do so" while they're continuingly doing so at the exact same areas/spots every single day and twice on pay day(s). Rights are just wishes if they aren't being enforced and or protected.
SANTACO is talking ideals while ignoring actual lived realities ... Sadly, we as a people must either do something or cave to them as we watch it only continue to grow worse.
And SAPS cant really help when a good portion of them are themselves taxi owners
Heads of Traffic departments are captured. These taxi guys knows that someone in the higher authority has their back.
Why are people this corrupt?
at the beginning of this year, Cathy Mohlahlana said it on her show, athi "kuningi" it's a lot indeed.
Taxi mafia, please let's stand together to end this crap
I was once stoped in the Vaal and commandered to the taxi rank while driving with my collegue. On the way they stopped another car and we were forced into a convoy. When we reached the taxi rank i just kept quite and the other guy was resisting and got schamboked. I remained quiet 🤫 and later they tried to demand money from me and fortunately i didnt have a cent. I still proved that my collegue is my colleague because we both had business cards.
This taxi business is hell in Mzansi. This is abuse of black people's rights. This is abuse of freedom. It is evidence of a failing state. Police are failing to protect civilians.
This abuse is not only against South Africans but even international drivers from surrounding countries which will affect tourism too.
Taxi people are making a beautiful country a pain to live in.
I was almost removed from an Uber at eastgate mall by one of these guys. Thank god for the police vehicle that was nearby.
Oh my gosh!!
This is a serious issue thank you for addressing it
Clement ur tops my friend tell that taxi bullies the truth thump's up
First time seeing you on radio, you are a natural bro🙏 Pusha passion 🙏
You are speaking the truth my leader ,thanks, the taxi driver are so cruel 😢 💔
For the 1st time I salute Manyathela.
The community must rise against this.
we heard it all SAPS, Metro Police Traffic Police just act on the situation for a day or two after that its back to normal, taxi drivers are just criminals. some are involve in cith and extortion
the police are not doing any thing about this.
Clement please can this not rest this a long time problem we tired.
No, Clement. Keep on waking people up.
These fools stopped me from picking up my wife the other day!
Taxi Association they think are owning Toyota Avanza ,we as citizens have a right to buy this vehicle to use as a private car and carry our own family members but patrollers they can stop you and demand money.
Even I Eastern cape Willowvale they do this we need help ANC Government
😂😂😂😂 Really? Are you not aware that the ANC gave them free reign YEARS ago for their votes? Good luck with the ANC - this is their mess, created by them. The taxis own the ANC. It's common knowledge.
The Qweqwe taxi association bullied my institution as well.
Those people lack emotional intelligence njeh lapho they working with people
@@sesethumpayipheli2284they even have time to bully people for not wanting to use their taxis
@Yanga_Mgonana bakhe babonaphi bona kusetyenziswa taxi's for long distance these people ababazi Abantu
@ just imagine 9+hours drive uhlezi taxi awukwazi nyakaza
@@Yanga_Mgonana yizwani njehhhh
The sad part that we all know as a Country no action will be taken for these incidents 😞😔😔
God Bless Clement mfana wami
These have been let out of hand in many instances, they block Ubers and bolt cars in other pick up areas, e.g. Malls, Gautrain stations. They have caused a lot of damage and drama. Sadly police just watch, please intervene before hurt many people.
