A taxi owner was shot several times while driving home on Wednesday morning; in what is believed to be suspected taxi-related shooting.
The 45 year-old man was on his way home in Zwelihle near Hermanus, when he noticed a red VW Golf with three to four occupants following him.
“It is alleged that one of the passengers in the rear seat fired several shots at the victim with an assault rifle. The victim sustained a graze wound to the head and gunshot wounds to his arm and lower part of his body,” says police spokesperson Bernadine Steyn.
“The victim was airlifted to hospital and is in a stable condition,” says Steyn.
The motive for the incident might be taxi related, but all possibilities will be investigated. The suspects fled the scene in the red Golf. The suspects are still at large.
Anyone with information can contact the Investigating Officer, Inspector Werner Bothma on 021 950 1400
