"The road is still closed. The taxis are blocking the children from going to school and transported to school, I believe the service providers at the Department of Transport has been allocated the service to transport these children and the taxis are blocking those people from picking them up and taking them to school."
The South African National Taxi Council in the province says they are currently in a meeting to resolve the matter.
