They therefore took it upon themselves to offer food parcels to the victims after they were moved to their new temporary homes.

Since it was Transport Month, they did not tend with Kliptown, but they continued to give out food parcels at various other taxi ranks and gave their commuters free rides on that day.
“We also went to town to donate food parcels to our random passengers, more especially our elderly commuters,” added Botha.
They moved from Southgate Mall rank to Bree Taxi Rank and finished at Polly Street where their taxis operate.
