Taxi driver gunned down at rank

A minibus taxi driver was gunned down at a Tongaat taxi rank, KwaZulu-Natal police said

“Sthembiso Ngcobo was killed at 5.30am on Tuesday,” Captain Thulani Zwane said.

Ngcobo had been waiting for passengers to board when a group of men shot him at least five times.

It was not known how many men participated in the shooting.

Provincial transport department spokesman Kwanele Ncalane said the shooting followed a dispute in the local Siqalakahle minibus taxi association.

The department had sent a delegation to talk with the group in a bid to resolve the dispute on Monday. Police had also been sent to the area.
