Taxi violence has flared up again on the Cape Flats. Three passengers were wounded in two separate incidents when shots were fired in Mitchell’s Plain and Philippi. Police says that a 60-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man were wounded at the Promenade Taxi Rank near Mitchell’s Plain. Four men were arrested in connection with the shooting and a firearm was confiscated. A 40-year-old taxi driver was wounded when shooting broke out in Philippi. The shots were apparently fired by people in a car that drew up next to a taxi while passengers were alighting. Frightened residents of the area say they fear for their lives every time they make use of a taxi.
