Gauteng Cracks Down on Taxi vs. E-Hailing Violence in Soweto

After the tragic killing of 27-year-old e-hailing driver Mthokozisi Mvelase last week in Soweto, Gauteng Roads and Transport MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela has announced the formation of a new task team to prevent more violence between taxi operators and e-hailing drivers. The team includes everyone from law enforcement to mall management, taxi bosses, and e-hailing drivers. The MEC says they’re determined to restore calm and make sure what happened at Maponya Mall never happens again. Phemelo speaks to MEC Diale-Tlabela about the urgent efforts underway.
