Minibus taxis continue to dominate Gauteng’s transport network, carrying millions of commuters every day. However, a recent enforcement drive by the Gauteng Traffic Inspectorate (GTI) has revealed how widespread non-compliance remains within the industry. Authorities estimate that at least 35 taxi drivers are caught daily without valid licenses, exposing a serious gap in public transport safety and regulation.

Johannesburg residents are gearing up for a week of planned power interruptions as City Power begins its scheduled maintenance of an eight-hour power outage across several regions. The utility says the work, taking place from 7 to 12 October 2025, forms part of its ongoing programme to stabilise and modernise the city’s overworked electricity grid.
Gauteng’s electricity grid is under renewed strain this week as Eskom resumes its planned load reduction programme across several parts of the province. The power utility confirmed that residents and businesses across Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, Tshwane, and surrounding regions will face scheduled power cuts during morning and evening peak hours.
When summer hits Gauteng, water becomes the new load shedding. Rand Water has already warned of shrinking storage capacity, while maintenance on the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP) will further squeeze supply. The water crisis is no longer just a municipal commodity for SMEs-it’s a critical risk that can decide whether the doors stay open.
