KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has issued a stern warning to taxi associations, urging them to cease intimidating e-hailing drivers and private motorists offering lifts to hitchhikers. Mkhwanazi emphasized that everyone has the right to hitchhike, take public transport, or get a lift from a private car, and associations cannot enforce rules by stopping vehicles. He warned that those caught will face arrest, and security firms involved may lose their operating licenses and firearms. The South African Ride Hailing Association welcomes the tough stance, while the National Taxi Councils provincial spokesperson insists on operating licenses for anyone transporting people for pay. E-hailing drivers have faced severe victimization, and Mkhwanazi urged victims to report incidents for anonymous investigations.
