Taxi drivers in Katima Mulilo have bemoaned a high number of unregistered taxis in the town.

They say unregistered taxis are benefiting more than them from the recent two-dollar increase in taxi fare, as they do not pay set road transport charges.

Erongo Police have raised alarm over increasing illegal taxi operations and the use of taxis to transport drugs in Walvis Bay.

More than 60 taxis were curbed off the road for operating illegally in a span of a week. 

This was enabled by a new application that is fast and effective in identifying registered and non-registered taxis.
