Police also held discussions with taxi drivers and panel beaters along the street leading into Prinshof school about blockages of the street and washing of vehicles in open spaces.
“Taxi drivers were warned to stop their illegal actions immediately and ensure that the surroundings are kept clean or action will be taken against them.”
