The E-hailing Partners Council has called for an immediate halt to vehicle impoundments until the backlog of operating permit applications is addressed.
Dozens of e-hailing operators marched to the Gauteng Transport Department offices on Tuesday and handed over a long memorandum of demands detailing a myriad of complaints.
The demonstrators have given the provincial Transport MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela seven days to respond.
E-hailing Partners Council
Frustrated e-hailing operators have reiterated their calls for the National Land Transport Act (NLTA) to be implemented to safeguard the industry from unfair practices.
During their march on Tuesday, the drivers stressed that they are tired of working under unfavourable conditions that leave them vulnerable to bullying and violence.
They said that their vehicles are impounded illegally, and they are prohibited from operating in some areas in the province
Secretary General of e-hailing partner council Melithemba Mguni said the implementation of the NLTA will help resolve many of their issues.
“Regulate ean infrastructure and vehicle categories in partnership with EFCO as per the proposed benchmark. Stop the enforcement of impairments until the operating license application process and backlog is cleared. You are already waiting for an application that happened three years ago.”
Diale-Tlabela promised to work with them to solve their problems.
