THE SANTACO taxi protests currently being carried out in Durban and across the province today are ongoing. In recent reports it appears that some protests have turned violent with aggressive behaviour by some strikers being reported.
Local motorists are urged to avoid Stamfordhill Road in the vicinity of Greyville Racecourse, as well as the bottom of Berea Road and the Durban CBD.
The taxi associations are protesting the impounding of their vehicles which do not carry the necessary permits, despite an alleged agreement with the provincial authorities.
