The Western Cape taxi industry had a challenging period due to an eightday stayaway that led to widespread damage to property, the local economy, and the region’s reputation. During a joint press conference, Premier Alan Winde, the City of Cape Town (CoCT), the Western Cape Government (WCG), and Santaco discussed the financial and reputational losses incurred by the industry, estimated by Santaco’s first deputy chairperson, Nceba Enge, at R50 million per day.
