Gauteng transport head wants to shut down Soweto taxi routes over violence

Clashes between the Witwatersrand African Taxi Association and Nancefield Dube West Taxi Association left three Wata members dead in January, Vadi said.

"Members of rival associations allegedly attack one another and damage vehicles. Ordinary Soweto commuters and residents are being intimidated and harmed by this violence. We are clear that the law enforcement agencies will come down hard on those who perpetrate acts of violence in the taxi industry.''

Vadi closed ranks and routes for one month in July 2017 and they were only re-opened after Wata and Nanduwe signed an agreement promising to desist from acts of violence and intimidation.
