Wata taxi monitor gunned down in Soweto

Mathonsi’s death comes after Premier David Makhura said he would appoint a retired judge after being approached by leaders of the South African National Taxi Council and the National Taxi Association to look into the escalating murders in the taxi industry.“We want to get to the bottom of these murders - to get the underlying forces in killings in Gauteng Province because of how serious the issue is,” Makhura said.

“The murders are not receding. The killings are getting out of hand everywhere. I am convinced we need to do something extraordinary. We want to know who is actually feeding this and who is profiting from them and what is the source of this violence. The probe will be on the scale of the KwaZulu-Natal political killings probe,” he said.
