The guards have reportedly been pulling over cars transporting passengers and demanding money.
Drivers on the North Coast fear for their lives, claiming that taxi security are forcing cars to pull over on the N2 and are demanding money from them, reportsA Richard’s Bay resident who travels on the N2 to Ballito daily said VIP taxi security, armed with rifles, were pulling over cars that carried passengers.
The man said that just a week ago, the security company caused a minor accident while attempting to pull over a car. Two weeks ago, a local bakkie driver who was travelling in a company vehicle was pulled over on the R102 by a man believed to be a taxi driver. Responding to the cases on the R102, Dolphin Coast Taxi Association spokesperson Sunshine Mthiyane said they were aware of the problem and encouraged victims to open cases at SAPS or to report the taxi registration to the association.
