Abanikazi bamatekisi eMnambithi, eKZN bathathe isinqumo sokulihoxisa icala lokufuna izigidi eziyi-R15 abalibhekise kuMnyango wezokuThutha eKZN.
Abe-Klipriver Taxi Owners Association bebesezinhlelweni zokumangalela umnyango ngokuvalwa komzila wabo ngowezi-2018, bebala ukulahleka kwemali engenayo unyaka wonke.
Kodwa manje sebephelelwe yimali yokukhokhela abammeli babo, ngakho icala selilahliwe.
Ngowezi-2018, owayenguNgqongqoshe wezokuThutha ngaleso sikhathi, uMxolisi Kaunda, wafaka imingcele emigwaqeni eyayinezinkinga ngemuva kokushona kwabantu abangaphezu kwama-60 ezigamekweni ezingezona ezezimoto kusukela ngowezi-2014.

UMnyango Wezokuthutha wayalelwa ukuthi ukhokhe izindleko zomthetho ezibalelwa kwizi-R500,000.
UMkhulu Masondo, ongusoseshini, uthe ukuvalwa komzila wase-Gauteng, e-Newcastle, naseThekwini kuholele ekutheni abaningi balahlekelwe ngamatekisi abo nezindlu ngoba bengenayo imali.
Babe sebemangalela umnyango befuna izigidi eziyi-R15.
“Besifuna umnyango ukhokhele ukulahlekelwa kwethu kwemali kodwa asisakwazi ukuqhubeka nokumangalela ngoba asisenayo imali yokukhokhela abammeli. Sesilahlekelwe yimali eningi kakhulu,” kusho uMasondo.
