The organisation categorically described these reports as false and misleading, arising from videos that purported to show Santaco members preventing drivers from transporting family and friends.
In an official statement, Santaco expressed concern over the spread of misinformation, asserting, We wish to place it on record that Santaco has never issued such communication and has never imposed any mode of transport on the public.
