Praise for measures to prevent Gauteng minibus shutdown
Gauteng MEC for Transport and Logistics Kedibone Diale-Tlabela has commended the Gauteng Taxi Industry (GTI) for their proactive measures that prevented a planned shutdown of minibus taxi services operated by the Witwatersrand African Taxi Association.
The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport received intelligence from law enforcement agencies warning of the intended shutdown scheduled for Wednesday, which posed a threat to the daily commute of residents, particularly in Dube, Nancefield, Jabulani and Zola.
The Department said the situation arose from the ongoing violent dispute between the Nancefield-Dube West Taxi Association (NANDUWE) and the Witwatersrand African Taxi Association (WATA) over routes in the area.
"We commend the GTI for demonstrating leadership and responsible governance, thereby averting disruptions to public transport in southern Johannesburg. Their intervention spared commuters significant inconvenience, enabling them to travel to their designated destinations without incident," the MEC said.
GTI comprises the South African National Taxi Association and the National Taxi Alliance.
“The collaborative law enforcement efforts, led by Gauteng Community Safety, Johannesburg Metro Police Department, South African Police Service as well as the Road Traffic Management Corporation, will continue as part of ensuring the safety of residents. Law enforcement remains prepared to swiftly address any potential resurgence of violence during this period,” the department said.
The department will continue to hold public meetings to keep residents informed of developments regarding the matter. –SAnews.gov.za

South Africa express concern on the reported attack perpetrated by the Ecuadorian police on the Mexican Embassy on 5 April 2024, which was in violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, in particular the principle of inviolability of diplomatic premises and personnel. This follows the arbitrary arrest of former Vice President, Jorge Glas Espinel, who was granted political asylum by the Mexican Government following his application to be provided protection from persecution.
South Africa calls for an amicable diplomatic solution to be reached between the Mexican and Ecuadorian Governments, in finding a lasting solution for these sisterly countries of the Global South, in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
Further, South Africa trusts that regional organisations in the Americas region and the UN will be seized with this urgent matter, which has the potential to negatively affect the region and the rule of international law in the conduct of diplomatic relations.

IEC publishes final candidate lists for upcoming elections
The Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) has released the final lists of political parties and independent candidates that will appear on the various ballot papers in the upcoming National and Provincial Elections.
The IEC published the lists on its website on Wednesday, and has made them available at all of its offices.
According to the election management body, a new and historic feature in National and Provincial Elections (NPE) 2024 is that independent candidates will contest for seats in the National Assembly and provincial legislatures.
This is after President Cyril Ramaphosa assented to the law enabling the participation of independent candidates in April 2023.
Six independent candidates will contest for seats in the National Assembly and six will contest the provincial legislature elections.
Meanwhile, the Electoral Code of Conduct has been in effect since the 23 February proclamation of the election date.
On 4 April, the IEC held a special ceremony, where all national contestants publicly pledged to adhere to the Electoral Code of Conduct, as well as to get their members and supporters to act in a manner that is consistent with the code.
Provincial pledge signing ceremonies at the provincial level will take place in the coming weeks.
South Africa will hold its General Election on May 29, which marks the country’s seventh democratic election.
