Is it legal and fair for BCC to prevent individuals from setting up private companies - Live Discussion

Thank you all for taking part in this discussion. This Live Update has been closed but you can still comment at the bottom.

is I BCC trying to create an avenue for generating income. Taxis can form their own associations that will serve their interests. I am trying to understand how this move will solve the problems they are talking about. The root cause is not that taxis are not a private company, bobaba sebenzisanini amakhanda, kukhanya ingani sokulamatshona ekhansilini

uhulumeni akasiqashi ngenxa yezibongo zethu,besithembele kuwo amataxi so if bcc does this they will have killed the livelihood of Mthwakazians.

Just a chance to bring back zupco without all the hustle

Kombie must go zupco has no chance I kombie are around thy don't follow order thy pic people where they want and charge what thy want if zupco price gets hight you can protect if kombie get high you can't do anything but pay

It is my view that all cars operating as commercial vehicles should be registered as companies be it kombis, scooters, gonyeti etc. As for 2 public companies that's unfair and don't think it is constitutional. As it is if a kombi driver is involved in a fatal accident the owner simply fires the driver without any compensation to the victims. However, if it was a company labour laws will protect the driver and the threat of the company losing its operating license will be enough for the owners to have insurances

The move will monopolise the local transport industry which will lead to higher prices for the consumer and unnecessary extra cost to vehicle owners. It will also lead to price fixing. The idea is not well thought out. Surely there are other better ways of dealing with the highlighted issues without resorting to this!

They are total crazy, how can you advocate for such a thing when people are trying to set up their own business. Something is fishy in this whole idea someo
ne is trying to make money out of this just wait and see

Never in a million years. Someone's head needs a thorough examination. Amen.

Kanti vele iBCC isiphelelwe ngumsebenzi yini? Abake bahlukane labantu bemtshova bazame ukuvala amapotholes agcwele indawana yonke bahlukane labamabusiness abantu bemtshova.

the city fathers are loosing it. At a time when young poeple are trying their luck in bussness! At a time industries are shutting down day and night! Then BCC frustrates the transport industry?

It not good for the public we want use our c ominibus wat I can say is our city is folling down and BCC must worry about inviting Companies to re open industries. Factries make business oppotunity to the BYO comunity many pple are not working. Imitshova is right let them pic up and drops abagibeli that is good and faster

Free enterprise is the way forward. Council cannot force free standing businesses to amalgamate. Imagine if council did the same to the chip selling outlets. Can u imagine Mr Chips, Nandos and Chicken inn are supposed to operate only under a cooperative! Really? Council needs to just put proper controls in place. Better designed ranks. Better taxi/kombi inspection and approval procedures. And as well as a mechanism of combating corruption within the city regardless of who is commiting it. The ZRP corruption has actually fuelled the wild behavior of some operators coz they are connected
