South African Police officials say that they will remain on high alert in and around Cape Town for the rest of the day.

Officials were alerted following emails of an impending taxi strike today. Last week, taxi operators went on the rampage causing havoc for three days in the city.

A number of vehicles and buses have been destroyed and several people were injured.

Meanwhile City of Cape Town Mayor, Helen Zille has assured commuters there would not be a taxi strike this week.

Hoax e-mails have been circulating, warning commuters of an impending taxi strike. Many were left stranded by last week’s three day strike action in Cape Town.
