We have brought together various stakeholders to unpack some of these challenges faced by e-hailing operators and get a better understanding on how the public transport system is regulated in the province.

Earlier this week, we spoke to a caller on the open line who shared their distress surrounding the fines that e-hailing operators were paying to taxi patrollers for client pick-ups and the push to use only Shesha App in their operations. Let us listen back to that call

Guest (Zoom): Portia Kelekethu - Project Manager at Shesha App

Guest (Zoom): Theo Malele - National Taxi Alliance spokesperson

Guest (telephone): Lesiba Mpya - Spokesperson for the MEC of Transport in Gauteng

Guest (Studio): Thato Ramaila - Chairperson of the Soweto United E-hailer Association (Note: He is currently also serving as Interim chairperson of the Gauteng e-hailing Drivers Association)
