Following the Midrand violence, experts emphasise the need for stricter rules in the taxi industry to prevent similar incidents.

The taxi industry should be regulated better to avoid violence and shoot-outs as seen in Midrand earlier this week, according to experts.

“One suspect has been arrested and police are searching for others after suspects driving in a Toyota Hilux bakkie opened fire at two vehicles that were driven by taxi owners in Midrand,” he said.Masondo said suspects opened fire at the taxi owner, who was being escorted by security officers from a meeting.

National Taxi Association spokesperson Theo Malele said they weren’t aware of the shootout, but would respond as soon as more information became available.
