Protesting metered taxi drivers disrupt traffic in Pretoria
Traffic in the Pretoria CBD has been disrupted as hundreds of metered taxi drivers protest against Uber.
The drivers made their way to the Department of Transport in their vehicles, where they plan on handing over a memorandum.
They are accusing government of not taking seriously their concerns over Uber.
They have warned that they will close all roads in Pretoria if their concerns are not addressed.
Maryke Vermaak reports.
