Santaco yet to decide whether to organise a national shutdown to protest rising fuel prices

The South African National Taxi Council (Santaco) says it has not yet resolved to organise a national shutdown to protest against the spiralling fuel prices.

This comes after it was reported that the two of the country’s biggest taxi associations – the National Taxi Alliance and Santaco – are lobbying trade union Cosatu and other civic groups to join a national shutdown over. They say these increases have made the cost of living unaffordable, placing financial strain on commuters.

Santaco Chief Strategic Manager Bafana Magagula says their national executive committee will decide on the way forward around a possible shutdown.

“The national executive committee will still sit down and look into the fuel increase issue and thereafter take a decision which that decision will then be pronounced properly by the president of SANTACO for the country to follow. At the moment no decision has yet been taken. We would like the commuters, South Africans and everybody to get that very clear that there is at the moment no shutdown.
