UNDER THE MICROSCOPE
PARLIAMENTARY SUBMISSION: SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGET
The Cash Transfers subgroup, an autonomous subgrouping under the C-19 People’s Coalition Economic Working Group made submissions to the Standing Committee on Fi-nance as part of their #PayTheGrants campaign which is focused on the just implementa-tion of the promised COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant and the building of a broad alliance towards a Basic Income Guarantee for all.

It is an emerging collective which includes community structures, trade unions, informal workers’ organisations, civics, social movements, rural groups, national and provincial NGOs across all social sectors, frontline responders such as community health workers and shelters, migrants’ and refugees’ organisations, public interest law firms and faith based organisations.

Taxi industry and technology
One of the things that transport minister Fikile Mbalula always raises around the taxi industry is that of formalisation…for the subsidy to be considered. The taxi industry is also protesting against the relief fund which they deem not enough and demanding R20 000 for each taxi.
When it comes to the taxi industry and its adoption of technology, how far is that?

THE TAXI INDUSTRY
Transport minister Fikile Mbalula says the government is not able to provide more than the R1bn relief it is offering the taxi industry.
Today, commuters were left stranded across Gauteng when the SA National Taxi Council (Santaco) took to the streets in protest over the relief.
Roads were barricaded and a bus was hijacked as Santaco demanded R20,000 per vehicle.The minister said his plans for the industry included formalising it to allow taxi drivers, marshals and owners to enjoy the same benefits as workers. His plans would also see commuters pay lower taxi fares
