Minister of Transport, Barbara Creecy delivering a Keynote address at SANTACO Women's Months event early today.
Firstly, let me recognise the significance of the SANTACO Women elective conference held on 25 May 2026. The conference was a demonstration leadership within the taxi industry. I congratulate the incoming leadership of credible internal democratic process and of empowerment, maturity and of the Women’s Desk.
The taxi industry is a key part of the national transport landscape and is also one of the largest black-owned sectors in the country with its revenue estimated at between R60 - R100billion annually, contributing about 1.4% to GDP.

[ON AIR] South Africa's taxi industry in Gauteng is threatening a province-wide shutdown if the provincial government fails to respond to its demands within the next seven days. SANTACO Gauteng and the Gauteng National Taxi Alliance accuse Roads and Transport MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela of undermining the industry's recognised leadership structures, bypassing established consultation processes and mishandling the issuing of operating licences.

Are Ruperts soldiers happy to transport criminals in our country as long as they make money? This is very shameful from @SA_Taxis ; very selfish and unpatriotic
