Long distance association goes on a strike

The KZN Transport Department says it's in possession of about 5 000 operating permits that haven't been collected by taxi operators. This after the Durban Long-Distance Taxi Association resumed its strike over permit disputes. They also complain about the impounding of their vehicles by law enforcement during operations like Shanela. Department spokesperson Ndabezinhle Sibiya says MEC Siboniso Duma has no authority to interfere in the administration of justice when it comes to impounded vehicles.
