Staff Writer

The conversation around taxis and e-hailing services is often framed as a competition between old and new.

Yet, the recent SanlamAllianz Brief Session that took place on Thursday revealed that the real challenge facing Namibia’s transport sector is not choosing one model over another, but creating a regulatory environment that allows innovation, safety and compliance to coexist.

Bringing together representatives from government, e-hailing platforms and drivers, the panel explored how Namibia can modernise its transport sector while ensuring fairness for all operators.
