There are several issues that appear to be the cause of the conflict; one being the validity of operating permits for the Intercape buses.
Speaking on behalf of Sizwe Taxi Association, Mr Mpungose confirmed that there is an issue between them and Intercape and that the matter is now being resolved by the Provincial Department of Transport.
Mr Kwanele Ncalane of the Department of Transport also confirmed the issue, saying they are investigating the matter and once everything is finalised, they will issue a report.
