The Tshwane Metro Police Department, together with other law enforcement agencies, has been conducting taxi operations since 2 August 2018. This is a response to various complaints about taxis throughout Tshwane that contravene most traffic laws.
A total of 215 taxis have been impounded since the beginning of the operation. Of these taxis, 50 were impounded on 4 and 5 September 2018 during an operation in Pretoria West. Most of the taxi drivers were found to have no documents such as driving permits and driver’s licences, and some of the vehicles were not roadworthy.
The operations will continue to be conducted throughout Tshwane in order to fight unlawfulness on the roads, especially by taxi drivers.
