Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport, Kedibone Diale-Tlabela leading a group of women to Uncle Tom’s Community Hall in Orlando Soweto for a prayer session against violence in the taxi industry on April 10, 2025.
Gauteng Roads and Transport MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela will today visit the family of the latest person to die in taxi-related violence in Alberton on the East Rand.
The woman was a taxi operator affiliated to the Katlehong People’s Taxi Association.
She was the widow of a man who had also died in a taxi violence-related shooting.
Sixty people have been killed in taxi violence in the province since the beginning of this year.
Diale-Tlabela’s Spokesperson, Lesiba Mpya says, “This goes against the commitment that has been made recently by the taxi industry to commit to the cessation of hostilities and it is an indictment to the commitment that the industry has made.”
Mpya says, “The MEC condemns these barbaric acts with the contempt it deserves and it is definitely a deterrent to a commitment to create stability and peace in the industry.”
