The South African National Taxi Council Santaco in Gauteng says taxi operations will only be shut down in parts of Ekurhuleni.
This follows threats of a shutdown in the province on Thursday after officials from the Transport Department impounded 17 taxis for offences, including unroadworthy vehicles.
Taxi operations in Benoni, Katlehong and Kempton Park were disrupted , leaving many commuters stranded.
