Summary
Gauteng’s transport department is investing two million rand to empower women in the taxi industry, funding business development, leadership training, and support services—especially for widows and vulnerable women. Since opening its help desk in 2024, it’s handled hundreds of inquiries, issued licenses, and counseled over fifty widows. MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela insists women must lead—not just work—in every facet of transport, from driver to boardroom. While challenges like funding access and licensing persist, the department is rolling out practical solutions to ensure women thrive now and for generations to come.
