I interacted with a taxi driver in Protea Glen, Soweto on how corona virus has affected him, the first thing he said was to ask where this disease came from. He said coronavirus has proved to be a showstopper as he has been out of business since the announcement of the lockdown. He said business has gone down as people are now minimizing movements and has since recorded losses. He highlighted how the taxi industry has suffered whilst highlighting that his brother has since lost his job because their company engaged in a massive job cut in face of the pandemic.
