THE Witwatersrand African Taxi Association says it has been robbed of about R160000 in cash by people who were dressed in police and private security uniforms.
Wata spokesman Milton Mdakane said yesterday the robbers attacked four security guards at the old Engen garage in White City, Soweto, on Saturday night before stealing the money during an armed robbery.
The garage, which is no longer in service, is now used by taxi operators to park their vehicles at night.
Mdakane said the money belonged to 18 Wata members. I got a call at about 12.30am informing me of the robbery, he said.
