Western Cape Transport and Public Works Minister Donald Grant says he has declared George in the Western Cape as a ‘high-risk’ area for taxi violence.
The department has requested police and traffic enforcement in George to be on high alert, following reports that Uncedo Service Taxi Association leaders were calling on operators from outside the town to flood the area and block key routes, ranks and the bus depot. The conflict in George according to Grant started back in 2006. He said he decided to declare the George area as “high-risk” in respect of taxi violence.
