Only way to resolve impasse between CATA, CODETA is to resume peace talks: WC SANTACO

The South African National Taxi Council (SANTACO) in the Western Cape said the only way to resolve the impasse between the Cape's two biggest taxi associations is to resume peace talks.
 
Taxi organisations CATA and CODETA are at loggerheads over the routes between Mfuleni, Khayelitsha and Somerset West.

A 30-day closure of these routes by the provincial mobility department is in its 16th day on Thursday.
 
The measures were implemented to prevent taxi-related killings linked to the association's feud over these routes.
 
CODETA has approached the court, hoping it will reverse the decision.
 
But SANTACO provincial chairperson, Mandla Hermanus, said no court of law could settle the organisation's differences.
 
"We want to allow that process to run its course and whatever outcome they might get in court, it will not negate the need for the two associations to sit around the table because that's the only way we will be able to resolve this. Courts will not solve it, not even the department on its own will be able to solve it until there is commitment from both organisations."
