Gibela Namela, Jozi My Jozi partner to strenghten Johannesburg's taxi industry
Taxi industry body Gibela Namela and citizen-led nonprofit company Jozi My Jozi (JMJ) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to implement a number of interventions aimed at strengthening Johannesburg’s minibus taxi industry.
This follows extensive discussions over the past 18 months and forms part of Project Unite, one of Jozi My Jozi’s Public Transit Revitalisation programmes.
The programme works with taxi associations to improve the systems that support public transport, from taxi rank safety and cleanliness to driver wellbeing and skills development.
The partnership is intended to create a more structured operating environment that benefits both the industry and the millions of people who rely on minibus taxis every day.
“The taxi industry is one of Johannesburg’s most important economic sectors. In the lead-up to the historic signing of this MoU, we have spent many months engaging with industry leadership because lasting solutions have to be developed with the people who operate the system every day.
“The taxi industry has the knowledge and the reach. Our role is to work alongside it to build systems that strengthen the industry over time,” says JMJ CEO Innocent Mabusela.
“As the City of Johannesburg taxi industry, we believe this partnership with JMJ will derive many valuable initiatives that change the landscape of this extensive industry going forward, from the associations and operators, to taxi rank infrastructure and the commuters at large,” comments Gibela Namela business development executive Themba Gcabashe.
