The president of Codeta Fikile George welcomed the news that the association recorded zero fatalities during the festive season. The Congress of Democratic Taxi Association (Codeta) on Wednesday, welcomed the milestone achievement of recording zero road fatalities during the festive season. The association’s president, Fikile George, said they attributed this outcome to sustained road safety campaigns aimed at drivers and taxi owners, supported by prayer sessions and ongoing engagement within the industry.
George said he was relieved that the association did not contribute to any loss of life during what is traditionally the busiest period on the roads. George described the achievement as unprecedented. “For the first time in history, Codeta has completed the festive season without a major accident resulting in fatalities,” he said.
Explaining how this was achieved, George noted that prayer and direct engagement with drivers and taxi owners played a crucial role. “Let me take you back to October 25, 2025, when we held amassive prayer sessionat the Mew Way Hall asking for divine intervention. We aimed to minimise fatalities, and we are grateful for achieving zero deaths. Yes, there were accidents, but no one lost their life in those incidents,” he said.
