Members of the Western Cape Flying Squad also arrested three suspects and confiscated 13 petrol bombs in Delft on Monday morning.
“Once they pulled over the 15-seater vehicle and the sedan, they searched the vehicles,” said Potelwa. “Thirteen petrol bombs were discovered and the suspects were subsequently apprehended.” “The furniture delivery vehicle was escorted out of the area by the police members. Integrated police contingents comprising SAPS members, the City of Cape Town’s law enforcement officials and traffic services continue to maintain a strong presence at identified hotspots while the taxi strike is being monitored.”
“The City has noted the demands from Santaco, representing the minibus-taxi operators in the Western Cape,” said Quintas. “We fully agree that formalising the industry is key to its long-term sustainability.”
