A few years ago a bunch of taxis arrived at the bus terminal in Newcastle and forced everyone off the buses and into the taxis at gunpoint...Taxi drivers and owners only understand one language (not all of them).
Taxi industry owners are the most barbaric group of business people. They know nothing about competing in a market or adapting to market trends. This is happening in every province and the government knows about it. Sometimes these taxi associations stop people from going to work when they are on strike. Imagine stopping other people from using any other alternative transportation to go to work because you won't go to work. This could be why most job specs require candidates to have their own transportation. A real burden to South Africans.
@@jam-fam Elsewhere in the world, including countries in Africa have introduced high speed rail for their commuters. Here in South Africa these taxi thugs still think that their coffins on wheels is The transport for the people , or else. Here in the Western Cape we have the BRT, even that get often attacked. The government doesn't nothing.
The thing people like is that Bolt picks you up from your gate, with the minibus taxi you have to walk for ages and get mugged on your way to the rank. Then you have to sit there and wait for the taxi to fill up. Hayi Bo. Taxi mafia needs to innovate and adapt. This isn't 1995 anymore.
WHY ARE WE FORCED TO USE TAXIS?thats not our problem it that they are failing to get commuters,things are changing taxi associations should appreciate that,we need convinience therefore we will not stop using uber or bolt...taxis should also lower their fares because they are getting financial subsidy from the ministry of transport
taxis are a thing of the past...no more paying money to stand in a cramped taxi ....uber is safe and a direct trip no getting late cause of taxis taking there own time.....we want uber not taxis....
Agree with u is useless to invest taxi . We are approaching 4th industrial revolution . No more shopping in town everything is going on lane . No physical labours technology is taking over. People will no longer travel to work and home . Within 5 _ 10 from now all this taxis buses will disappear . Uber is future
Our money that we worked and sweart so hard for it😢 but controlled by the taxi industry on how we use it. No one can choose the mode of condusive, safe and reliable trasport to go to work 😢💔😠‼️ This is South Africa for us 😢💔‼️
Wait guys let me clear the air, the police all of them SAPS/ JMPD owns taxis and these Ubers are fighting with these thugs call authorities. Shame on S.A. and ANC
There are so many things that we missed due to the level of journalism. The lady doesn't understand the language and yet ENCA sent her instead she even said it herself. She could have used the mic to listen in to these guys talking.
Media is irritating, they say taxis and Ubers have been working along fine for years, totally ignoring all the bad history that is so evident, it really is so sad that these are the kinds of people who give us news.
That's quite an assumption there...how do you know that she doesn't understand the language? She is reporting live which makes it a lot harder to get the actual story
@@charlesmollo3502 Seeing their reaction with the Chairman of e-haling driver, I wonder what's going to turn out in today's meeting. These elders of Taxi association are arrogant and violent.
We appreciate Uber taxis in Soweto much as we appreciate buses and trains. Minibus taxis are law unto themselves ,bullies this Soweto Taxi association!
South Africa we are not safe. These taxi owners and drivers have held the transport industry ransom for a long time now...its only a matter of time we will see another blood shed again
Very soon they ( taxi mafias) will be torching car dealerships because most people would rather buy cars or walk than be in a taxi...the disrespect from the taxi drivers is what makes a taxi claustrophobic 🤢

Makhubela is dishonest, while they wait for tomorrow's meeting are they operating as they should or not? Chances are they are not allowed yet expected to roll over like adopted kids of Soweto.

Watching from America, I dont believe what I am seeing here? And the city can't clean this mess up? This ignorant thuggishness should be cleaned up pronto, these guys jailed (or killed) and new younger, intelligent well organized drivers who will follow the law of the land.

Are you able to scan the taxi mob there was a person who had a fitted blue shirt who followed the Uber boss and became involved in the attack.this tall bloke was in the first fray. He is the stirrer.
Thato and his people are the ones that provoked this commotion, he and his people know that there is a meeting scheduled for tomorrow in Kliptown yet they block the mall gates. It was supposed to be business as usual until that time. Now he is accusing others of violence and 'owning the streets' when he was acting like the boss of the streets today🤔
why are we being forced to use taxis in this country when there is an uber and indrive. taxis do not respect rsa citizens at all and are against the progress of this country, sies!!!
South Africans do not have a contract to use mini-bus taxis. These old men must understand that the world is changing. It's simple, if Zungu has 10 taxis, he must sell 4 and buy Toyota Corolla for Uber instead being spoiled.
Peace to anyone willing to accept...Why with all the technological advances and cameras to our disposal couldn't these so-called journalists with these camera's identify those people who allegedly wanted to grab that gentleman who is the spokesperson of the people he represents?...They know just like Cyril Ramaphosa exactly who represents who but for whatever reason couldn't focus on these people that needs to ingage with eachother to find solutions because they already know that there is a dispute between the uber drivers and taxi drivers!...What's the purpose and intentions of these so-called journalists!?...who do they work for and what are their intentions!?...These so-called journalists should be trained how to identity anybody that wants to cauz anarchy and mischief instead of focusing on making money at the expense of the community and should be concerned about public safety if they really serious about telling or showing the public at large the true events as they unfold!!!

😂😂😂😂fast quick and in a hurry love it
Your missing the whole point here , they are not scared of taxi owners since well they are the real owners of those very same taxis
No one will force us to use taxis. Some of us have social anxiety and can't use taxis.
Bra😂😂😂 not to mention taxi drivers are so confrontational, I’d die
Yes indeed
this guy doesnt know inkabi

@@casualSimRacer3312 real men don't exist.
People must remember that even SAPS members and METRO POLICE do own taxis. You can read between the lines what that means.
And some politicians
remember police and metro guys own taxis
Very true, our police is useless when it comes to incidents involving these guys
Leadership ye ehailing may God protect you. No one is above the law!!!
What do you exactly mean politicians are above the law .they are committing crime every day . Roaming in the street free no accountability
Wait guys let me clear the air, the police all of them SAPS/ JMPD owns taxis and these Ubers are fighting with these thugs call authorities. Shame on S.A. and ANC
Heidi.. please stay safe!!
When it comes to this country, i've thrown a towel!! Every single day is chaos. Nothing works.
Crime getting worst day by day

This guy leaves police and his friends and goes to the taxi men, and when they are greeting him, he goes for the cameras crying, damn!!!!.
Taxi drivers don't even pay tax, they have no right to complain
Now u can understand why taxi owner's/bosses get killed so often! There's absolute lawlessness!
Some houses are far from the main so Uber comes closer the man is up for the game
We appreciate Uber taxis in Soweto much as we appreciate buses and trains. Minibus taxis are law unto themselves ,bullies this Soweto Taxi association!
This country is just going down even further. No end in sight 😢
Such a sad state of affairs
why police are hiding their faces they are scared to be identified if something goes wrong
Cause they criminals
South Africa we are not safe. These taxi owners and drivers have held the transport industry ransom for a long time now...its only a matter of time we will see another blood shed again
She should have asked an easy question to draw the person in .
Makhubela has failed dismally at his job his lack of serious engagement and making sure this industry is regulated has led to this.
Yhooo Thato my man be careful. I lost a cuzin cis of dis taxi mafia . Stay safe brother we not gonna stop using ubber
No weapon formed against him shall prosper!!
You guys don't understand the majority of people that own taxis are police
Very soon they ( taxi mafias) will be torching car dealerships because most people would rather buy cars or walk than be in a taxi...the disrespect from the taxi drivers is what makes a taxi claustrophobic 🤢
You cannot get 3 passangers traveling at a cost of R20 in a taxi bus. but then again, it's expected of ludicrous things to be purported by eNCA. 😏🙄
Everyone needs to make a damn living in this country these taxi drivers think they own this country
South africa is a movie absolutely madness
Hydee Gumede please stay safe there, we still need you on the ground.
vigilantism at its best, story of our country
so the cops hear that there's a gun in that taxi association crowd, and they don't do anything about it..... no surprises here
That's the same question l asked myself.
Abolish this industry! They should be regulated and taxed! This informal rubbish must stop!
lawlessness in the country is just crazy with the police standing there some even fighting each other, no leadership or discipline
... Under the leadership of Mr the new dawn we're indeed in a new dusk... Nothing is normal... Everything is reflecting in an undesirable picture ...
Protea Glen polices are not willing to help anyone but want to be paid for nothing 😠😠😠
The court is just around the corner...take them straight there
Police must search those guys.
Government failed to regulate the taxi transportation system in the country period.
this police man is scared of this taxi guys
