SANTACO officials are calling on the South African government and commuters to support local e-hailing services, namely: Teksi Ride, Shuma and Yo!Taxi. Speaking at the SANTACO KZN Second Annual Business Summit held at the Durban International Convention Centre, Mr. Sizwe Mvubu, Chairperson for the Metre Taxis within the organisation said it is difficult for them to compete with foreign e-hailing services due to financial constraints.  “Foreign e-hailing services are subsidised by their governments, hence they have many promotions and specials which we can’t afford. Secondly, we are regulated by our government in terms of the minimum fee we can charge which isn’t the case with the foreign services. The commuters will obviously choose the cheaper options” he said.  Deputy Chairperson for Metre Taxis in the eThekwini Metro, Mr. Vijay Mothilal echoed the same sentiments. Watch the full interview below:  @hlokomela_kzn SANTACO Meter Taxis officials give us an insight into their future plans. They also discuss their different e-hailing services. #TeksiRide #SANTACOKZN #WeAreBuilding #Siyakha #Welcome2TheFuture #SANTACOcares #TransportMonth2023 #VoiceOnTheMoveRadio #HlokomelaKZN #MeterTaxi #YoTaxi #Hlokomela ♬ Female Vo / Impressive / EDM Instrument Loop 2(1247532) – Leano

Ndabenhle Myeza has visited the Voice On The Move Radio studios to unpack his role as a Mental Practitioner at the SANTACO KZN Women’s Desk. His key responsibilities include helping women deal with stress and helping them manage their finances.   Myeza is cognizant of the fact that some of the women in the industry are widows which necessitates treating some of their issues with the sensitivity they deserve.  “If the intervention with women works it becomes easy to bring children on board as well because some of them ask difficult questions as they grow up due to being left on the dark side, not knowing what happened to their father,” he said.  Watch the full interview below:   @voiceonthemoveradio [ICYMI] The exclusive interview we had with uNdabenhle Myeza unpacking his role mental practitioner invited to empower the SANTACO Women’s desk. #SANTACOcares #Siyakha #WeAreBuilding #welcometothefuture #santacon ♬ I Wanna Know Jesus – Josué Novais Piano Worship
