Soshanguve taxi owners say crime spike has severely affected their businesses

TSHWANE - Taxi owners in Soshanguve, north of Pretoria, say their businesses have been severely affected by the recent spike in violent crimes in the community.

Hundreds of ANC Youth League supporters filled the streets of Soshanguve, expressing the need for police visibility in the township. "Remember that they killed our guys and some have been shot. So we are affected a lot. Remember, if these people are doing this to our cars, we don’t have any business."

"Remember one thing, we are not politicians. We are business people and we must protect our business, hence we are joining the ANC."
