The Western Cape High Court is expected to hand down judgment on Tuesday afternoon in a matter brought by the Golden Arrow Bus Service (GABS). The bus company alleges the SA National Taxi Council (Santaco) is in contempt of an interim order. It was impounding vehicles in line with the National Transport Act, and had the paperwork to prove it. However, in the court application, Santaco said its members were not responsible because its charter specifically prohibited violence. The court heard the taxi industry was a hierarchical structure, dominated by two associations - the National Taxi Alliance, which was not involved in the stayaway, and Santaco.
