Government will not win this war alone. We need the assistance and cooperation of everyone. South Africans have complied with the lockdown regulations and we call on them to continue to do so.
#LockdownSA
Good morning South Africa
On permitted #ESSENTIAL journeys avoid the following -:
1) Don't drink & drive
2) Reduce speed on wet roads
3) Look out for pedestrians
4) Always Buckle Up
#StayAtHomeSA
70% of a taxi’s capacity means:
• A minibus licensed to carry 10 passengers will now carry a maximum of 7
• A minibus licensed to carry 15 passengers will now carry a maximum of 10
• A midi-bus permitted to carry 22 passengers will now carry a maximum of 15 passengers
🚨 UPDATE 🚨
Minister Mbalula has rescinded with immediate effect, the Direction which allowed for a 100% loading capacity for taxis.
The Minister has since reviewed this measure and will only allow a 70% loading capacity for Minibus taxis.
We must all appreciate that the measures we introduce to curb the spread of this virus are about preserving human life, and not about our individual narrow self-serving interests.
Every one of us must appreciate this and play their part in eradicating this pandemic.
During the lockdown period, the following public transport vehicles must reduce the number of maximum passengers to 70% of the licensed capacity, with no masks as follows:
• A minibus licensed to carry 10 passengers, is limited to carry a maximum of 7 passengers.
Our engagements with our counterparts in government are ongoing to ensure alignment of our Directions with the Regulations published by the Minister of Co-operative Government and Traditional Affairs (COGTA).

We’re all struggling to get through all the queries but we try.
Thank you for your patience & understanding.
South Africa will get trough this if we all do our bit.
