WHILE calm has been restored in Durban city centre after yesterday’s taxi strike, the eThekwini Municipality has not confirmed that the strike had been resolved after talks with industry stakeholders yesterday.
On Tuesday morning, at least a hundred taxi operators charged through the city leaving a trail of chaos as they upturned municipal bins and burnt the trash along the streets and stoned motorists. The angry mob made their way to the Old Drive In site where nearly 300 taxis were kept after they were impounded by Metro Police over the weekend.
Reports of the strike being resolved and the impounded taxis released could not be confirmed by Ethekwini municipality at the time of publishing.
Police said no incidents of public violence or damage to property was reported this morning.
