Judgement reserved in Western Cape Education Dept and Codeta scholar transport row

Judgement in the matter between the Western Cape Education Department and Taxi Association Codeta (Cape Organisation for the Democratic Taxi Association) has been reserved until Wednesday next week.

Arguments in the matter were heard in the Western Cape High Court on Friday.

The Provincial Education Department wants the court to compel Codeta to stop the blockade of its contracted learner transport vehicles.

At the same time, Codeta wants the court to instruct the department to consider it for scholar transport contracts.

Thousands of learners from Khayelitsha and surrounding areas have already missed two weeks of school in February due to the impasse.
