Impact of Taxi Strikes on Internal Operations and Consular Services

We are writing to inform you about the recent taxi strikes in Cape Town and their significant impact on our internal operations as well as those of all the Consulates in the area.

The ongoing taxi strikes have caused significant disruptions to our daily business operations and the transportation services relied upon by our employees. As a result, we are currently facing challenges in ensuring the smooth functioning of our operations and maintaining our usual level of service delivery.

We understand the importance of timely appointments and efficient processing times for our clients, including yourself, and we regret to inform you that the taxi strikes will inevitably create a ripple effect in the coming weeks. This will directly affect appointment time slots and processing times, causing potential delays and difficulties in meeting previously established deadlines.

We are actively exploring alternative transportation options and working with local authorities to mitigate the impact of these strikes. However, it is important to note that the scale and intensity of the strikes have posed unforeseen challenges, and we anticipate that the situation may persist for some time.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, and we assure you that we are doing everything within our power to minimize the disruptions to our services. We kindly request your understanding and patience during this period of uncertainty.

If you have any urgent matters or specific concerns related to your appointments or processing times, please do not hesitate to reach out to our dedicated client support team. We will do our utmost to address your needs and provide suitable solutions to navigate through these challenging circumstances.
