Taxi organisation SANTACO says it will not take part in the EFF's planned national shutdown on Monday. EFF will hold protests across the country against the rolling blackouts. They will also be calling on President Cyril Ramaphosa to resign. In a brief statement, SANTACO says following its meeting with the EFF - the taxi industry will not participate in the shutdown. And that taxis will be operating as normal on that day. Now let us discuss this further we are now joined via zoom by SANTACO's General Manager Thabisho Molelekwa.

I’m starting to think that SANTACO is ANC…

[@jenknight7772]

SANTACO has become sophisticated. Complex business in complex environment.

[@unitedkingdomofngunipeople4959]

I AM NOT A EFF MEMBER BUT AS A CONCERNED CITIZEN OF SOUTH AFRICA I SUPPORT THIS NATIONAL SHUT DOWN! WE WILL BE OUTSIDE!!

[@siyabongakoyo238]

SANTACO is not affected even by petrol prices bcz they just increase their taxi fare problem solved

[@lesihomathe2690]

But when they strike they want us to Join there strike they are too selfish sometimes they fight with you while you are driving your car when they strike.

[@yahavbensarahmadiel8694]

This is the worst reasoning I have heard thus far! They are acting like this because their business is not directly affected by loadshedding. However, their families and employees (drivers) are affected. Also, whenever they protest, they expect everyone and everything else to stop. It's ridiculous, to say the least.

[@MsidosWamaHit]

If you have failed politically, you choose violence, the EFF is an example of a failed revolution, how long has Julius malema sat in Parliament? 10 years but no results 👎 #Nationalshutdown

[@rockrabbit253]

As Tuesday is a public holiday , lots of people will be taking Monday off anyway. Skelm move by Malema as he will claim his shutdown is successful even though most people will just be having a long weekend.

[@lyndenhall6754]

he is not as stupid as you

[@TheALIDA1986]

Malema the EFF leader never liked Lesotho or basotho, Africans as large, he was very against foreigners while still with ANC, i will hear of his insults and personally chose not to like him, then he left ANC and his party formed, and thats when he got desperate and realized his hatred for Sothos and foreigners will work against him, thats when he changed the slogans, but he is the same hatred man, South Africans dont be fooled, worldwide economy suffered, only a man who lost nothing in 2020 to now due to Covid 19 will want businesses to close down and follow him, this man is anti prosperity, he wants all us in poverty, he wants to scare off investors, and to tarnish South Africa, and this man cant be trusted, his actions are questionable! aaaah!

[@anelemsimang5692]

Shame, such strong low iq opinions, you must have a hard life

[@africanart5919]

Even your intentions are questionable 😅😅😅. surely you have means to keep your lights on but more than 70% of the population don't have that privilege.If you have a better plan to solve the issue come with it, if not let those who have ideas carry on acting on their ideas.

[@cloudstrife8791]

The Pretoria High Court this week ordered the liquidation of Grand Azania, a company owned by Brain Shivambu, the brother of EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu, over unpaid tax amounting to R11.5 million. - this week Malema owes the South African Revenue Service R16-million. Malema bought the property in 2009 for R3.6-million. Was auctioned off... Malema and eff friends all anc comrades in crime and corruption they will only destroy since they never pay or add value - 2013

[@TheALIDA1986]

@@cloudstrife8791 yaaaaa, i see! but their plan wont work! our fathers worked hard to build the economy of South Africa by their hands, i buried mine due to silicosis 1, he never enjoyed his health after he worked in the mines from the age of 14, the economy matters, Malema must be stopped!

[@shubielechesa8836]

​@StrusBOB SA why would I ever trust a neoliberal DA with its penchant for right wing policies? I didn't say it, it was Mashaba himself who said it when he stepped down from the DA.

[@franciskarangwa6554]

That sounds confrontional if you want taxi drivers to go against a national shut moreover you too say you have 2years economic problems that's childish!!!

[@zakhelemahlalela2851]

You don't care about your taxis drivers, only think for owners

Useless Santaco

[@luyandasogayisedyandas2226]

this guy speaks nonsense and it now clear that they only think about themselves as taxi owners

[@moisaentertainment3093]

We never asked santaco to join the protest

[@bonginkosimazwixaba7140]

Taxes are going to take people to where?

[@worldecclesiasticalclub8357]

Very selective crazy answers

[@jenknight7772]

How much did Santaco pay Julius to keep away?

[@lindamanamela7998]

SANTACO doesnt have a backbone. Their problems are government related. So, why cant they join EFF SHUTDOWN to enlist their grievances in the protest list and become ONE BIG FAMILY and deliver them to the government? Next time they will want to form their own march as SANTACO. Why cant organisations work together to address the Loadshedding problem and the other related problems ? Each organisation wants to march alone and why ?

[@sephiwejoycesithole6118]

We're so divided

[@yibaaugust577]

this guy must not forget that most of us are usibg public transport and some of us support the shutdown

[@motlatjomothibi2919]

Operate to where? We will cause havoc and anarchy.

[@thulaninkwinika7235]

There will be no havoc from any EFF members,so who are you to cause havoc we are watching you 😞

[@sephiwejoycesithole6118]

Mothibi don't get violent just don't take taxis that day for them to get the message. Bear in mind most carry guns so be safe☝👊

[@oscarmakgaka4840]

We will take part relax santaco
