JOHANNESBURG - The family of Mthokozisi Mvelase, a Soweto e-hailing driver who was gunned down this week, says his death could have been avoided if authorities hadn’t ignored rising tensions in the community.
The 27-year-old was gunned down, and his car was set on fire outside Maponya Mall.
The attack is believed to be part of the ongoing conflict between taxi operators and e-hailing drivers.
As residents took to the streets to demand justice, Gauteng Transport MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela called for calm.
