These scene of a taxi-related shooting incident in Nyanga on the Cape Flats on 02 June 2026.
The South African National Taxi Council (Santaco) has called on law-enforcement agencies to act swiftly and decisively to bring to book those responsible for a taxi-related shooting incident in Nyanga on the Cape Flats on Tuesday morning.
Four people were shot dead, and two others were left wounded.
The wounded victims were taken to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
Santaco spokesperson in the Western Cape, Makhosandile Tumana, says they will continue to engage taxi operators and associations to ensure that disputes are addressed through the appropriate structures and never through violence.
He has extended condolences to the families of those who lost their lives.
Meanwhile, the Nyanga Community Policing Forum (CPF) on the Cape Flats has called for peace talks between rival taxi associations, the Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (CATA) and the Cape Organisation for the Democratic Taxi Association (Codeta).
Nyanga CPF Secretary, Dumisani Qwebe, says: “We are saying to them, let us sit down and solve this problem without blaming one another and killing one another. We’ve got these four taxi drivers who were shot and killed. It tells us there’s a problem within the taxi industry, so we need to go in and zoom in and say how can we improve our taxi industry so that we won’t be in a situation of these mass shootings and attacks.”
