Roads between Pretoria and Johannesburg have been adversely affected by the national taxi strike today (8 November). 
Taxi blockades are appearing across the province as the National Taxi Alliance amasses drivers, leaving both commuters and matriculants writing exams, stranded.
The strike is starting in Pretoria, with roads such as the N1, N14, N2 and N3 in Germiston being affected. A number of police officers from various units have been deployed to monitor the strike.
In response to matriculants not being able to get to their exam venues, Gauteng MEC for Education, Panyaza Lesufi, confirmed that they can go to their nearest high school to write.
According to our sister paper, Soweto Urban, the National Taxi Alliance will be leading a march to the Minister of Transport, Joe Maswanganyi.
The South Africa National Taxi Council (Santaco) has, however, distanced itself from the strike.
“It is concerning and unfortunate that such activities continue to be organised during this critical period of examinations in the education environment. Actually, such activities subvert the country. All our Grade 12 learners should be preoccupied with preparations and excelling in their work. [This] is derailing their efforts and focus…” said Lesufi.
