GEORGE NEWS - Uncedo George is awaiting the outcome of a Santaco (South African National Taxi Council) meeting and will follow its guidelines regarding the capacity loading of taxis under Covid-19 regulations.

This was Uncedo George chairperson Wselele Mbudede’s reply when asked what his organisation is going to do after reports that some taxis across South Africa started operating at 100% load capacity in contravention of the government's regulations. 

Government currently has a 70% capacity regulation in place.

Mbudede said Uncedo falls under the umbrella organisation Santaco and will communicate Santaco’s guidelines to members when they become known.

According to reports, national Minister of Transport Fikile Mbalula has postponed two separate meetings with Santaco and the National Taxi Alliance (NTA) to discuss state support and transport regulations.

More information to follow as it becomes available.
