Taxi operators have blockaded the R40 between Mbombela and White River.

It is alleged that this protest comes after a dispute between local bus operator Buscor and various taxi associations.
The Topstar Taxi Association’s chairperson, John Mavundla, told Mpumalanga News that he is currently unable to provide any information regarding the taxi protests taking place on major roads in Mbombela.

“We have a meeting at 14:00, and afterwards, I will be able to speak to the publication about what is happening,” said Mavundla.

This is a developing story. More information will be provided as it becomes available. Mpumalanga News is currently on the ground monitoring the events as they unfold.
