Driver spat in Ballito

Taxi bosses and Uber and Bolt operators are in dispute a over transport service rights.

The drivers say they have little choice but to cough up the weekly fee of R600 to continue operating in Ballito.

The association is determined to restrict the number of e-hailing services operating locally.

More than 100 e-hailing drivers are reportedly active in Ballito. The association is adamant this should be reduced to 25.

Taxi association spokesperson Siyabonga Ntombela said many e-hailing drivers operate illegally.

"They are supposed to operate only based on app requests but in Ballito, we find them parked at malls and approaching people to offer rides home, which we simply cannot allow," said Ntombela.
