This note outlines the progress achieved
by the Western Cape Provincial Government to attain
formalization of the minibus taxi industry envisaged in
terms of the National Taxi Task Team (NTTT) recommendations
released in September 1996. The Western Cape departed from
the other eight Provinces of South Africa by deciding to
commit key elements of the NTTT recommendations to
legislation in the Western Cape Road Transportation Act
Amendment Law. This action was prompted by the determination
of the Provincial Minister of Transport to arrest the
violent situation that had characterized the Minibus Taxi
Industry up to then. The formation of a Provincial Taxi
Working Group (PTWG) backed by this legislation has been an
effective means to advance the formalization process in the
Western Cape Province. This initiative is currently at its
most active, and will continue through the remainder of 1998
and into 1999, until the minibus taxi industry has been
fully regulated. Training and economic restructuring
measures are also being provided according to the NTTT recommendations. |
