IOL reports: "The SA National Taxi Council (Santaco) in KZN said that the driver’s actions were out of order and showed a complete disregard for the law."
Santaco’s Sifiso Shangase mentioned that despite the driver's personal feelings, he should have dealt with the situation correctly.
“We need to calculate information and educate our own drivers to also understand the importance of respecting police officers and peace officers and their roles.
Furthermore, IOL contacted the metro police for a comment on the matter. The department said the taxi driver should have been arrested.
Metro’s spokesperson Geraldine Stevens said: “It is a criminal offence and the driver should have been arrested for reckless and negligent driving. I am not sure why the officer let him go."
