MEDIA ALERT

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE TRIBUNAL FINDINGS ON STANGER AND MAPHUMULO SAGA, TUESDAY 30 AUGUST 2005 AT BLUE WATERS HOTEL IN DURBAN AT 12 PM

KwaZulu-Natal Transport CEO Dr. Kwazi Mbanjwa will host a Media Briefing tomorrow at 12pm at Blue Waters Hotel to announce the findings of the Tribunal, which was appointed and tasked to investigate the conflict between the Stanger and Maphumulo Taxi Associations.

The Tribunal was also tasked to present a ruling which can put an end to the violence which has lasted for decades killing innocent passengers, drivers and taxi owners. This follows many efforts by the department in trying to resolve the ongoing violence in Stanger and KwaMaphumulo.

This led to the decision by the Taxi Registrar to close down operations of the Stanger and Maphumulo Taxi associations in the province with effect from Monday, 8th August 2005 pending the outcome of the Special Tribunal.
