Apparently they are blocking roads and being unruly. These taxi drivers should go die in a fire. :mad:

They are also apparently completely blocking the N1 north between allendale and new road, thats where i need to be driving to now :/

Just came through between allandale and new. Either they set up *really* quickly, or I'm going blind...

Heard about the taxi problems from my maid this morning. Sheesh. Bloody people need to join the civilised world at some stage.
 
Taxi's are pointing guns at people. Violence has broken out n1 north before Allandale. DO NOT GO THERE!!!!
 
Now is the time to send in the army and open a sixpack of whoopass... they need to be taught a lesson. Fscking taxi drivers.
 
The highway still looks closed from that internet feed thats looking at newroad again

ABSOLUTELY NO cars coming through

Can you imagine if this happens when we host the 2010 world soccer event? :D

The government are in a nice tight spot at the moment. They need to get the taxi industry up to specs for transporting tourists but the taxi owners want things to stay as they are (low maintenance + zero personal tax).

Can't we take our 9mm's and go help the police ?

No, Pitbull, don't do it man!!

Your 9mm might feel a bit 'inadequate' against an AK-47 or R5 assault rifle - oh, and some taxis have 'onboard axes' too! :D
 
In 1922, there was a big strike by white miners. A certain General Jan Smuts, who was Prime Minister of South Africa at the time, ordered the army and the airforce in, and fought a running battle with the miners, using aircraft, artillery, the works. The strike was soon suppressed.

Smuts was one of the few men powerful yet wise enough to be able to do this. Would that we had a president like him today...
