Gauteng Cracks Down on Unsafe Taxis | Johannesburg News
Description
Gauteng’s roads are getting a serious safety overhaul as MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela cracks down on unsafe public transport. Over sixty taxis were pulled over, with fourteen immediately banned for deadly mechanical failures like busted brakes or bald tires. The crackdown also exposed 48 unlicensed drivers and 43 vehicles without license discs — leading to 20 violation notices. Part of the RemoveSkorokoro campaign, this sweep targets high-risk routes from August 3–9, demanding taxi associations enforce stricter standards and ban unqualified drivers. Safety isn’t negotiable — keeping unsafe vehicles off the road is non-negotiable to protect every commuter.
