Africa Melane speaks to Theo Malele, Gauteng National Taxi Alliance Spokesperson, about the NTA’s demand for a 12-month fuel rebate, cheaper vehicle finance and commuter-centred subsidies and its warning of a national protest if Transport Minister Barbara Creecy does not provide a substantive response within 14 days
