Law enforcement has been beefed up in Mthatha after three people were
killed and 15 injured in a drive-by shooting on Thursday night.
The attack, which took place on the R61 near the Circus Triangle Mall
taxi rank, was allegedly fueled by ongoing taxi violence in the district.

incident was the fourth related to taxi violence.
Already, eight people have been killed in recent months.
Fatyela and taxi bosses said the cause of the violence was routes on the
