The South African National Taxi Council Santaco has condemned incidents of harassment and intimidation involving civilians and taxi patrollers, amid a police investigation into an alleged assault linked to taxi operators in Vanderbijlpark.
One of the videos on X shows a man being beaten up and forcefully removed from his car, allegedly by taxi association members in Vanderbijlpark simply for having a passenger in his car on his way to work.
