The taxi association says they have met with government asking for this decision to be revised - as it is causing them to work at a loss.





But Santaco coordinator in Tshwane Thabo Moila says talks with government have not yielded any results.





“Our stance is that as from tomorrow we won’t go to the streets,” says Moila.





“The government doesn’t want to come to the party and also the harassment of the police on our drivers and also things that are being said, they are not being given to us in a written form.”





Moila adds the taxi industry was also not consulted before regulations were put in place.





“We’ll work until today at midnight, that’s when we’ll stop rendering our service and then we start with our shutdown tomorrow.”





The industry estimates that it will lose millions during the 21-day lockdown period.
