Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Extra security measures will be in place at Paarl and Bellville taxi ranks on Monday after a second taxi operator was shot dead.<\/p>\n

A Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (CATA) minibus operator was the second person to be killed when he came under fire in Paarl on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The latest murder angered the Western Cape’s mobility department, especially given the work put in by all parties this week to stop the resurgence of the shootings.<\/p>\n

“I am infuriated by this second violent minibus taxi-related crime in the area this week, which threatens commuters, the minibus taxi and public transport industry more broadly,” said Mobility MEC Ricardo Mackenzie.<\/p>\n

“The minibus taxi industry must prioritise commuter safety with strong leadership and respect for the rule of law \u2013 anything less is a dereliction of their moral and legal duties.”<\/p>\n

The department and taxi industry representatives were in meetings all week, and the SA National Taxi Council (Santaco) was consulted to get to the bottom of the flare-up.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, extra security will be in place at Mbekweni in Paarl and the Bellville public transport interchange.<\/p>\n

The Bellville to Paarl route has been a problem for transport authorities, with CATA and the Congress of Democratic Taxi Associations (Codeta) jostling for business.<\/p>\n

At one point, all rights to the route were suspended.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Siyabulela Mandyoli, the chairperson of the Codeta-Paarl Taxi Alliance, was shot dead.<\/p>\n

Santaco’s Western Cape chairperson, Mandla Hermanus, said Mandyoli was regarded as a key figure in the negotiations between CATA and Codeta.<\/p>\n

Paarl Post reported on Saturday that the second shooting was on Jan van Riebeeck Road, opposite Dal Josaphat Stadium.<\/p>\n

In May, CATA’s training officer, Charmaine Bailey, was shot dead while chairing a meeting at the association’s Wynberg Office.<\/p>\n
