Nombulelo Nzuza, 45, a diabetic patient who had arrived to collect her medicine, was worried.
The violence has not only hit the two taxi associations. Alternative transport including buses and private cars have been attacked for ferrying passengers left stranded by taxis. Asked how many people have died in the violence and the number of those arrested, provincial police spokesperson Capt FC van Wyk said: “Kindly be advised that due to a moratorium, crime statistics cannot be disclosed. Statistic are released on a quarterly basis by the minister of police.”Transport minister Fikile Mbalula has held talks with the leaders of the two taxi associations and the SA National Taxi Council.
“All these were positive signs the industry was headed in the right direction. We are disappointed by the recent turn of events. Those who choose to resolve the industry disagreements through the barrel of a gun will not be shown leniency. They will face the full might of the law.” The Nyanga bus terminus, which is adjacent to the Cata taxi rank, is among the most affected. Both are deserted, with soldiers accompanied by police keeping an eye on the area.A Cata taxi driver, who spoke on condition of anonymity, blamed Codeta for the violence. “We [Cata and Codeta] agreed to share the Paarl route. But Codeta turned away our taxis when we were dropping off passengers.”
