| dc.description.abstract | The taxi industry has over the years crept into the hearts of the South African community. Firstly, during the freedom struggle taxi operators risked being arrested when providing an alternative to the government-supported bus service. Secondly, the industry was seen as the sector that would bring fame as the first really successful black empowerment sector. One immediately asks why the minibus-taxi industry could not have progressed more successfully, since it controlled more than 65% of the market and was also popular with the community and government. However, the instability prevalent in the industry undermined its progress and success and prevented it from reaching the point of full formalisation and empowerment and becoming a reliable business partner. | en |
