GAUTENG SAFETY AND SECURITY MEC ON TAXI GUARANTEE

Issued by: Gauteng Provincial Government

STATEMENT BY GAUTENG MINISTRY OF SAFETY AND SECURITY ON TAXI "GUARANTEE"

The Gauteng Ministry of Safety and Security has written to the Letlhabile Taxi Organisation requesting that they remove from their fleet of taxis posters which inform their customers that their personal safety has been guaranteed by the MEC for Safety and Security.

While Ms Jessie Duarte certainly believes that all commuter have a right to reliable and safe transportation, the well-being of commuters lies in the hands of transport operators themselves.
