Cape Town - The modus operandi used by the killers appeared similar, with victims targeted while seated in their vehicles.
The latest killing was that of a 36-year-old taxi driver, known only as Zaid, also called “Spikey”. He was shot dead on Wednesday morning. Police spokesperson FC Van Wyk said according to reports, the police responded to the shooting complaint at the taxi rank and they found the victim sustained gunshot wounds into his upper body and he was rushed to a nearby health care facility where he later succumbed due to his injuries.
This follows an incident that took place on Tuesday afternoon, where the Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association vice-chairman of the Bellville area and taxi boss Tyhilile Elliot Mqhele was gunned down in his car in front of Tafelberg furniture store.
