IFP concerned taxi violence in Cape Town could deter voters
It says action must be taken against those who perpetuate violence.
The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) has raised concerns that recent taxi violence in Cape Town could dissuade voters from participating in the upcoming local government elections. IFP Chief Whip, Nhlanhla Hadebe, emphasized that such violence undermines the democratic process by creating an unsafe environment for voters, particularly those who rely on public transport to reach polling stations.
The IFP is urging the resolution of the long-standing dispute between taxi associations and calling for decisive action against those perpetuating violence. This issue has prompted a meeting between taxi associations and the Western Cape government to address the escalating violence.
