 
MEDIA ALERT
PRESS BRIEFING ON TAXI VIOLENCE, MONDAY 14 FEBRUARY AT 11 AM IN THE MEC'S BOARDROOM (PMB) KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison, Mr Bheki Cele will be hosting a Media briefing today at 11am to address issues surrounding an ongoing Taxi feud between the Mpumalanga and Pinetown Taxi Associations. A month ago MEC Cele and Transport CEO, Dr, Kwazi Mbanjwa had a meeting with both associations that resulted in a decision by the MEC to temporarily suspend the routes between Mpumalanga and Pinetown. Tomorrow Cele is expected to announce the long awaited decision regarding the matter after long discussions with the associations. Since the suspension of the taxi routes only bus operators have been transporting commuters along the Mpumalanga/Pinetown routes. A few weeks ago Cele had a meeting with the mass democratic structures in Hammarsdale in addressing the issue and is expected to have a mass meeting with the members of the community in due course.
