Its believed that rogue taxi associations are behind the attacks. This year alone, at least 31 stonings, and 21 shootings, have been reported so far. "The attacks recently become more violent and sophisticated. We have seen the use of vehicles passing busses from the back, overtaking the buses then shooting at drivers, shooting at the tyres, shooting at the body and at passengers," said Intercape's Johann Ferreira.
