The South African National Taxi Council (SANTACO) Ekurhuleni Region wishes to clarify that taxi operations in Thembisa are not postponed tomorrow, despite reports of a planned community shutdown.

Taxi services will operate as normal, with caution, and will be guided by conditions on the ground. Commuters who require transport and can move safely will be transported.

We call on law enforcement to ensure the safety of passengers, operators, and all community members. While we respect the right to peaceful protest, we also affirm the right of residents to access essential transport services.

We urge calm and responsible conduct from all parties.
