'Nissans' used as PSV banned in SA

[Meria]

A reminder to all the taxi operators, by 31 January 2023, none of the over to thousands Toyota panelvans that had been illegally converted into taxis, will be allowed to transport passengers any more.

These taxis must be surrendered for scrapping at the Taxi Recapitalization South Africa. Note, the owner of an illegally converted Toyota Panel Van must have an operating license or permit linked to the vehicle and also in the owner's name to qualify for a scrapping allowance.

Vans not scrapped, will be impounded at roadblocks from February next year.

What they have banned is the use of panel vans that have been converted to look like commuter vans. A panel van has some windows missing, and lacks floor reinforcement for seat attachment, making passengers vulnerable during accidents. Some investors will purchase the panel van and affix windows (this is cheaper) to make it look like a commuter van. Investors who scrap their panel vans will get some compensation to enable them buy commuter vans.

For 2 days only and then money changes hands.
NTSA is to blame for all the rot in the sector.
