HUNDREDS of Cape Town taxi operators gathered outside the provincial legislature building on Wednesday after blocking the major routes into the city on Wednesday morning. The drivers, members of the Convention for a Democratic Taxi Association and the Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association, are demanding provincial government revise conditions for issuing road transport permits. They claim that out of 1500 applications to the local road transportation board only half have been approved and that taxis which operate without permits are being impounded.
