Western Cape's taxi rivals given until today to end deadly conflict

- MANDILAKHE TSHWETE

TAXI violence over the Khayelitsha-Somerset West Route continues to spiral despite marathon talks and a court interdict.

Rival associations Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (Cata) and Cape Organisation for the Democratic Taxi Association (Codeta) are still deadlocked over control of the contested routes.

The Western Cape Mobility Department confirmed that the associations have been given until Monday to propose a resolution.

Cata spokesperson Nkululeko Sityebi rejected a proposal that would see Codeta operate the disputed route exclusively.

"We are not agreeing on Cata being pushed out of the Khayelitsha-Somerset West," he said.
