Cata and Codeta's historic peace deal boosts commuter safety
Cape Argus
|June 26, 2025
TWO of the Western Cape' largest taxi associations have formally reconciled after a period of conflict over key transport routes, reaching an agreement aimed at restoring order and ensuring the safety of commuters.
The Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (Cata) and the Cape Organisation for the Democratic Taxi Association (Codeta) announced that they had resolved their dispute and committed to maintaining stability in the minibus taxi industry.
The breakthrough follows a dialogue held on Tuesday, where representatives from both associations signed off on operational resolutions for the contested Mfuleni-Somerset and Khayelitsha-Somerset routes.
As a result of the conflict, seven people were killed and five others were wounded in taxi-related incidents.
Under the agreement, operators from Mfuleni will retain their right to return passengers from Somerset as stipulated in their operating licences.
