SANTACO ELECTS NEW BOARD — CONTROVERSIAL MPUMALANGA BUSINESSMAN SECURES DEPUTY ROLE

South Africa's national taxi industry has a new leadership structure after the South African National Taxi Council (SANTACO) held its elections.

Motlhabane Abnar Tsebe from Gauteng has been re-elected as SANTACO President for the 2026–2030 term.

Mpumalanga businessman Joe "Ferrari" Sibanyoni, a figure described as controversial, was elected as 2nd Deputy President — a result likely to draw attention given his public profile.

The full elected board is as follows:

🔹 President: Mr MA Tsebe — Gauteng
🔹 1st Deputy President: Mr BB Zondi — KwaZulu-Natal
🔹 2nd Deputy President: Mr FJ Sibanyoni — Mpumalanga
🔹 National Chairperson: Mrs L Mabija — Eastern Cape
🔹 Secretary-General: Mr D Qumbu — Free State
🔹 Deputy Secretary-General: Mr SD Mayekani — North West
🔹 Treasurer-General: Mr N Aburagman — Western Cape
🔹 Training Officer: Mr ME Konki — Northern Cape
🔹 PRO: Mr SJ Masemola — Limpopo

The newly elected leadership represents all nine provinces, signalling a broad national spread across the organisation's structures.

SANTACO is the largest representative body of the minibus taxi industry in South Africa.
