Makhosandile Tumana<\/a> said the move was long overdue, since the organisation has operated from an open field near Embengweni for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“We are so excited about the new development because it gives us an identity. A taxi rank not only helps us, but also commuters, who will be safe now.” He said he was grateful to the City for the initiative.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Ward 93 councillor Thando Pimpi, the taxi rank is expected to be completed by mid-year next year. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Currently, the contractor is busy levelling the ground. Soon it will install the underground infrastructure then start the construction. It is expected to have a shelter and toilets for the commuters and offices as well.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said construction of the taxi rank doesn’t just belong to his ward but neighbouring areas as well, even though it is regarded as part of ward development. “More jobs will be created for our locals because many people, including companies, will be hired during the construction. They will gain more skills and experience.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
