The Lenasia magistrate's court yesterday heard the bail application of six of the eight accused. The six said they intended pleading not guilty to the charges.Mothebeki has a previous conviction for cable theft for which he paid a R500 fine.

In his affidavit, Jackson Baloyi, 39, told the court that he makes a living transporting children, which brings in about R4,000 a month. Lawrence Ntengemntu, 66, pleaded with the court to give him bail as he is an employed pensioner. Ntengemntu has two previous convictions – one for theft and the other for common assault for which he paid a R600 fine.

Motaung, 58, was killed on the morning of October 6 while he was on duty and was ferrying passengers to work and other destinations. He was shot in the back and set alight in Lawley, south of Johannesburg, by men who pretended to be passengers. Passengers broke windows and jumped out of the burning bus.

penwelld Their lawlessness is costing them and its going to kill the business We have a right to choose if you want taxi bus train or private car People are fed up with their attitude and those who can r buying cars Why educated taxi drivers dont educate their colleagues

penwelld Police officers and traffic officer are the owners of taxi, question is who will be arrested?

penwelld They believe they 'own' the commuters. Look how they harass hitch hikers & private motorists. They even have patrol cars stopping private motorists. Problem is Traffic wardens & SAPS members are also in this industry & tend to turn a blind eye to their lawlessness.

penwelld Taxi is not an industry but disgraceful gangsters who feel vokol for their passengers or fellow citizens
