Pretoria - Gauteng SAPS commissioner Lieutenant-General Elias Mawela has urged the taxi industry in the city to put an end to the violence that has claimed the lives of several operators in recent months.
Mawela told the Pretoria News that although taxi operators called on the police to help end these shootings, the industry could also play a role. The taxi industry knows that the hitmen are hired within the industry; and even if you arrest a hitman, another one is found to do the next job,“ he said.
