The deputy chair of the Benoni Taxi Association, Edna Dlamini, says residents of Benoni are unhappy because the taxis are no longer touting, or picking up passengers on the road, in an effort to combat crimes that were on the rise.
Disgruntled community members took to the streets yesterday morning in Etwatwa, burning tyres and chanting.
Several road closures were seen leading up to Etwatwa taxi rank, covered in rocks and stones.
The community's plea is to have taxis go back to touting and enter the community.
Touting is when taxis go on roads in the community, picking up people close to their homes.
