More than 200 Uber vehicles and about 1000 drivers are marching from Zoo Lake to Kramerville. They will be handing over their memorandum. Public order and Metro Police are escorting them.

Drivers of taxi services Uber and Taxify have started arriving at Zoo Lake in Johannesburg ahead of their march to the offices of the operating companies they accuse of exploiting them.

This is part of Tuesday’s shut down by the drivers who are demanding better working conditions and a fare increase.

They went offline from midnight as part of their protest and have been patrolling the streets trying to ensure that none of their colleagues are working.
