Taxis drive charitable initiative forward

Taxis are the thorns in the sides of many a motorist. Yet, hidden behind the steering wheels of these vehicles are people, who care deeply about their communities.

On Tuesday, May 29, 300 children benefited from the generosity of the Amajuba Regional Taxi Council.  This comes after the Amajuba Regional Taxi Council donated school uniforms to underprivileged learners from the community.

According to Themba Thwala from the taxi council, the decision was made due to several families facing financial difficulties.
