ith end-of-the-year festivities on the cards, a surge in inter-provincial travels and uncertainty in the mini-bus taxi industry, members of the Cape Organisation for the Democratic Taxi Association (Codeta) resorted to a divine intervention and converged at Mew Way Hall for a peace prayer on Tuesday 28 October. Presided over by leaders of various churches, the prayer was attended by hundreds of taxi bosses and drivers, and numerous taxi associations, including Uncedo from the Eastern Cape. The prayer sought to highlight challenges faced by the taxi industry and find a last-

The taxi industry has been in turmoil for several months and was plunged into chaos recently with killing of another taxi boss (“Another Cata boss dies” City Vision 23 October). Tumana appealed for calm and the protection of commuters. “As you know, we are approaching the festive season and many people are going on holiday in different places. Our drivers will be driving long distances. We are here to pray for the safety of their journeys. We want road accidents to stop.” He said the taxis were ready to take to the road and their drivers fit for the journeys. Tumana advised the drivers to rest well before embarking on long-distance drives
Leaders of various churches joined in the service to appeal to God to be with the drivers, and to take regular intervals to ensure everyone’s safety on the road. “It’s important for the drivers not to put themselves under pressure while on the road.

I can confirm to you that we will treat them with respect.” He also urged disgruntled commuters to direct their complaints to the taxi rank. Bishop Derrick Mtsolo of The Ilitha Meth-

odist Church of Southern Africa described the service as a great initiative. “We are appealing to God to be with the taxi drivers. We want God to be with them all the time. We don’t want to hear of any accidents. We want people to arrive at their destinations alive and safe. We are saying enough is enough.” Mtsolo said. He urged God to be with the widows and orphans who had lost their fathers and spouses in taxi-related violence.
