Speaking at a media briefing in Soweto on Monday, Maponya Mall's Joe Morobe said they're engaging all stakeholders.
"We still say all transport services that are offered are allowed within the mall. And the main thing, it has always been, we need to make sure that we comply with the rules, and I think the regulations of the country as well."
