Preliminary reports suggest that the incident is allegedly linked to tensions between taxi operators and e-hailing drivers.
Gauteng Roads and Transport MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela has described Wednesday night’s taxi-related violence at Maponya Mall in Soweto as senseless, unacceptable, and a direct threat to the safety and stability of the public transport system.
One person was killed and two others injured after e-hailing vehicles were attacked by unknown suspects.
Preliminary reports suggest that the incident is allegedly linked to tensions between taxi operators and e-hailing drivers.
MEC’s Spokesperson Lesiba Mpya says those responsible for this heinous crime must be found and face the full might of the law.
“Its a very tragic affair. Police need to get to the bottom of this heinous act,” says Mpya.
