Taxi wars continue in the Vaal | News Article

A taxi boss was gunned down during continued Vaal taxi violence in Sebokeng.

It is alleged that the shooting followed after the Internal Taxi Association (ITA), and the Evaton West Taxi Association (EWTA), began fighting over a route.

Earlier this year the Gauteng MEC for public transport and infrastructure, Jacob Mamabolo, suspended both associations following their failure to resolve the problem and end the violence.

More than nine vehicles have been torched since the violence started.

No arrests have been made yet, while the provincial police are still investigating the incident.
