Madam Deputy Speaker, on behalf of the Chief Whip of the IFP, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that since Monday, 15 March 2010, commuters in Gauteng have been left stranded as the minibus-taxi industry went on strike boycotting the expansion of the Bus Rapid Transit System;
2) further notes that taxi operators have threatened violence and have barricaded roads leading from Soweto and railway lines in Soweto with burning tyres;
3) further notes that the back window of a bus was smashed in Eldorado Park and that there were attempts to burn a Rea Vaya bus in Nancefield;
4) condemns any act of violent behaviour; and
(5) calls on taxi operators and the government to work together in order to come up with a solution that will be beneficial to both the taxi operators and the commuters who make use of public transport.
Agreed to.
