Department of Transport launches Be Legal campaign

The national department of transport launched a seven month Be Legal campaign at the Jack Mincer Taxi Rank in Johannesburg, aiming to improve and legalise the taxi industry. The Be Legal campaign was a concerted short-term project involving all three levels of government: National, Provincial and Local. The campaign provided an opportunity for illegal minibus taxi operators to apply for operating licences in terms of the National Land Transport Transition Act and to subject the whole industry to regulation and effective law enforcement.
