Police in the Western Cape have arrested 12 people in connection with ongoing taxi violence in the province but are yet to nab the kingpins, transport minister Fikile Mbalula said on Thursday.

“People are dying. Among taxi owners and drivers it is black on black violence. We can’t be happy when people slaughter each other in the presence of children. They’re killing young people and innocent people. We’ve got to act timeously. We have to act to preserve lives.”“A panel has been appointed. It is about dealing with unity within the industry with a view to stopping the killings, examining what is costing lives and causing conflict and what we need to do.

There is an economic problem with this industry. It is operating in the informal economy. How do we bring them to the centre?”“The taxi industry briefed us yesterday and told us they will withdraw taxis from operating in the areas affected until the issues are resolved. Where there are no attacks, we expect taxis to operate fully.”“There been arrests by police. About 12 people or more have been arrested with guns. I salute the police for a job well done in that regard.

Since this taxi violent has started, none of any government official were to calm the situation, but they chose to sit back so they can do the arrest.

All twelve of them in one go? What happened to arresting in stages? Or is a luxury that was meant for Fmr President Zuma?🤦

Yeah yeah Mr Fix fokall!
