Blouberg, Blaauwberg, Cape Town – South Africa

Just stop your crap, all of you!

RUMOURS of further disruption and possible violence by striking taxi operators in the Du Noon area were dismissed by the mayor of Cape Town, Ms Helen Zille, in a statement issued on Monday.

Zille said she had personally spoken to the chairperson of the dissident National Taxi Association (NTA) who gave her the assurance that there would be no violence.

Zille was to meet with the NTA today (Wednesday) to discuss their concerns after an earlier meeting scheduled for 28 Janaury had been cancelled at the last minute by the taxi alliance.

Meanwhile the Milnerton police will remain on red alert, monitoring the situation carefully, says spokesperson Insp. Daphne Dell.
