‘You have a right to refuse to be ill-treated by public transport drivers – Mpimpa!’KZN Transport MEC, Mr S’bu Ndebele, has appealed to commuters and community members in general to mpimpa those who break the law, including the notorious chicken game that killed over ten school children. "Good people I wish to say that there is no where in the world where you would go and find that there is a traffic officer on every corner of the road. "This is your life, and you only have one life. One death is one too many. We must refuse to be treated like articles in our taxis. We refused to be brutalised by the apartheid government. We don’t say face the taxi driver, no. "Report him to the taxi associations and taxi councils, report him to the Department of Transport – the Mpimpa line is open for you: 0862211010.
"Taxi drivers have driver licenses as well as drivers’ permits. We do not hesitate tearing apart the driver permit when someone who is supposed to be responsible for the safety of commuters is abusing his work. We leave him with the drivers’ license alone. So Mpimpa – when you have done that, leave him with us, we will deal with him," added Mr Ndebele.
