Public relations officer for the association, Jabulani Ntshangase said it is necessary for them to host these events so that employees feel appreciated for all the work they do.
“Everyone works really hard and gives all their energy [to make] this organisation successful, so we wanted to show them that all their hard work was appreciated,” Ntshangase said.
He said this year was a difficult year for them, but the peace accord between them and the Alexandra Randburg Midrand Sandton Taxi Association (Armsta) made things easier.
“The peace accord has contributed greatly to things becoming easier and making this event a success.”

Guests were entertained by the sounds of local choir Voce de Alex and Vosloorus comedian Hilda ‘Sister H’ Sephosa.
