When Sowetan arrived at Mahube taxi rank, near a BP filling station, hundreds of passengers were stranded without any means to get to work.
"Mid last month more than 30 taxis were added and they are also not queueing up because we are told they are also Vusi's taxis." A passenger, Shiela Maisha, 50, said:"I'm stranded for transport and don't know if I will be able to make it to work or not. My employer may cut my salary for a day missed."
Deputy chairman of the Mamelodi Long Distance Taxi Association , Stemmer Monageng, who was a co-accused in Mathibela's withdrawn extortion case, slammed the protest, saying disputes should be resolved through dialogue instead of making commuters suffer.
