The ongoing conflict between Nanduwe and WATA in Soweto has disrupted transportation services since Monday. Lesiba Mpya, spokesperson for Gauteng's Transport Department, noted the feud has lasted since 2013, resulting in fatalities and route closures. To address the escalating tensions, meetings were held, and plans were made to close affected taxi ranks and routes. Police impounded nearly 50 taxis last week, leading WATA to stage a three-day stay away, leaving commuters stranded in parts of Soweto and Johannesburg Central. Spokesperson for the Gauteng Department of Transport Lesiba Mpya joins Lerato Mbele for the conversation.
