Vote better next time, Ramaphosa tells those mourning the taxi driver ‘who cared’

He added: “As we met with the family we told them that ... Jabu has now become a symbol of something very serious: of fighting against drugs and ridding not only the city of Tshwane but the country in its entirety of drugs, including nyaope.”Among the crowd was Grotie Sithole, who introduced himself to City Press as Pretoria United Long Distance Taxi Association public relations officer.

“We have given him 21 days to tell us what is happening in terms of the death of one of our own and how he will take action against the police involved in this.” Ramaphosa corroborated Sithole’s claim and said he had been informed of law enforcement officials working with drug peddlers in the area.On the day, the president received a memorandum from the taxi operators in the area detailing some of the major hot spots for drugs. It included Sunnyside, Capital Park, Struben and Du Toit streets and Marabastad, which was as recognised as being “right at the centre of everything.
