AmaXhosa King Ahlangene Vulikhaya Sigcawu has asked Uncedo Service Taxi Association members to professionalise the taxi industry, diversify incomes and to stop killing each other.
As violence among Uncedo taxi association members continues to escalate across the province, a former taxi boss and his family will once again have to bury a loved one.
The family of the man accused of being the infamous Marikana sangoma who, according to reports, smeared muti on protesting mineworkers to make them invincible and “invisible”, is desperate to clear his name.
Former Uncedo Services Taxi Association president Ntsikelelo Gaehler says he was unlawfully arrested after his vehicle was allegedly shot at near Bloemfontein on Friday. This after Gaehler was stopped in a roadblock by a contingent of police shortly before entering the Bloemfontein area. However, Free State police have a different version of how events unfolded.
