The Revised Taxi Recapitalisation Programme (RTRP), first announced in April this year by previous Minister of Transport Dr Blade Nzimande, is ongoing, and has already made “significant” progress, Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula told Engineering News. The initial taxi recapitalisation programme was launched in 2001. Earlier this year, Nzimande announced government interventions to transform the minibus taxi industry and remove unroadworthy or noncompliant taxis from the country’s roads through revising the programme.
