The government's programme for taxi recapitalisation was for the benefit of the commuter and not the operator, the SA National Taxi Council (Santaco) said yesterday.
Santaco secretary-general Philip Taaibosch said miscommunication and incorrect reporting had carried on too long. "Recapitalisation is not … aimed at benefiting taxi operators, but rather at the commuter."
The council believed operators would be more supportive of the programme if they understood that it would benefit their market.
He denied that Santaco had been a "puppet of government" in the recap project. "Santaco has and always will place the interests of its members before all others." Santaco would rather fight for the industry in "a civil manner in the boardroom" than take to the streets, "regardless of consequences", he said.
