A quiet morning led to unruly behaviour from taxi drivers who took to the streets to riot because their demands not being met. Local Taxi Association (LOTA) drivers tried to burn down the LOTA Head office.

On Friday, October 3 taxi drivers set fire to their head office in Rhodes Street in an attempt to have their needs met by the board committee of LOTA. They have been protesting and striking since Thursday, October 2 as they feel that they are entitled to some of the demands that they are making.
