Mdantsane taxi operators received death threats before Wednesday's shooting that left four people dead, including the alleged assassin and an innocent bystander.
A bus journey to Bloemfontein for a group of BCM teachers turned into a nightmare on Thursday when the passengers were “held hostage” in Mdantsane by a group of angry taxi operators.
Task Force Community Crime Fighters are gradually cleaning up the streets of Mdantsane, as they confiscate weapons from criminals in the township. The crime fighters handed four bags full of weapons to the NU1 police station in Wednesday morning. They gathered hundreds of weapons, ranging from guns and knives to machetes and hammers, during night-time raids targeting amaphara criminals who roam the streets at night.
