Meanwhile, despite SANTACO Limpopo announcing that the planned taxi shutdown has been called off, taxi operators in Seshego and surrounding areas are currently blocking roads from Seshego through the Luthuli and Emdo Park intersections.

Several buses travelling from Moletjie and passing through Zone 6 in Seshego have also been blocked. Bus drivers have reportedly been instructed to return to Moletjie, leaving commuters stranded.

The protest is understood to stem from ongoing grievances over alleged unfair treatment by the Limpopo Department of Transport and Community Safety.
