Roads to and from Mbalenhle township were barricaded, vehicles entering the area were hijacked and used to block roads.
The association’s Chairperson Fanyana Sibanyoni says as an association they find the conduct of the police disappointing. Meanwhile, the association says six of its members are in hospital in a critical condition. 29 people have been arrested so far. “We were told that police came, broke the gate and came inside the rank and shot our drivers without the drivers saying anything to them and our drivers were shot, dead three of them. Six of them are in hospital. It is an ambush because more than a hundred kombis, all kombis that were inside the rank were damaged. Even our offices; you can go and look at them; they were damaged. Snookers where drivers are keeping themselves busy were damaged. They shot everything that is inside the rank.
Taxi industry is ruled by guns and death.
Minister MbalulaFikile. Embalenhle and surrounding areas are under siege. Many lives will be lost if you don’t do anything about this.
They're violent everywhere 😐
A loss of a human life is sad. I believe this could have been prevented if VUKTA was willing to work with MEGABUS. VUKTA want to have their own way without hearing from the commuters they are supposedly fighting MEGABUS for. Allow everyone to choose which public transport to use.
