Until the government puts its foot down and provides clear direction on taxi operating rights, we will always be here. The current violence can be traced back to Hermanus, where operators left one taxi association to join another about 10 months ago. We saw a similar dispute over the B97 route in 2021, where 83 people were killed. At the heart of this conflict are questions that government must answer: Who controls taxi operating permits - individual operators or associations? Are permits issued to individuals because of their association membership? And what happens to an operator's permit when they leave one association to join another? These are fundamental regulatory questions that require clear answers.
We condemn the violence stemming from internal fights within the taxi industry in Cape Town. Our Cape Town Metro Police officers are maintaining a heightened presence around various high risk taxi ranks to protect commuters. The City will act to uphold the rule of law and support SAPS to hold violent criminals accountable. We will do whatever it takes to make communities safer.

Land that’s already controlled by the ANC and should be released for housing across the country, RIGHT? Sad sad sad
ANC's Cape Town mayoral candidate Jeremiah Thuynsma says the party plans to conduct a land audit in Cape Town, with the aim of releasing land for human settlements and boosting housing delivery. Tune in to #eNCA on #DStv403.

Several taxi-related shooting incidents across Cape Town today. Mfuleni, Gugulethu and Khayelitsha. In Khayelitsha the gunman boarded a taxi carrying schoolchildren. As the vehicle travelled along Japhta Masemola Rd, he shot the driver in the head while the taxi was still moving

It is tavern shootings, extortionists, taxi violence. Black-on-Black violence. Black people are always dying, always
Another video from the Delft shooting incident. Commuters are once again caught in the middle of a taxi war they know nothing about.

This guy admitted to me the other day that his DA ward councillor who is also my ward councillor is terrible but we have to vote for him again. Make it make sense. Why would I vote for someone who hasn't done his job? He is clearly more loyal to a party than to himself!

Commuters were running after shots were fired at the Delft taxi rank this morning. More than five taxi operators have been killed within the last 24 hours in Khayelitsha, Mfuleni, Delft and Gugulethu.

This is an area where we need improvement on all sides. And if we do it properly it won’t just be about debate quality but also improve the understanding of issues by all our leaders

I can’t think you only figured this out during the debate. 😬 Actually we have so many crises and lack of leadership (at all levels) is one of them. Our beloved country is on its knees.

We didn't win every vote. A majority can vote us down. But we made them answer, and we put it all on the record. Don't take my word for it. Read it, and ask every party what it did with your vote. 👀 forgood.org.za/wp-content/up… #TikTok vt.tiktok.com/ZSgb26H2d/

My wife watched/listened to the @Our_DA vs @MYANC debate on @eNCA last night. It was the most nauseating spectacle I have ever seen. I could unfortunately not leave the room. The level of "debate"???. We have a leadership crisis in this country. #LeadershipMatters
