DURBAN - KwaZulu-Natal Transport MEC Sboniso Duma has promised to intervene in the upheaval between e-hailing drivers and taxi operators in KwaDabeka.
Two e-hailing drivers were shot and assaulted, allegedly by taxi operators, in the west of Durban.
Duma says he's committed to ensuring that taxis and e-hailing drivers co-exist peacefully.
He adds that upcoming talks are to secure peace for the sake of e-hailing operators, the taxi industry and the public at large.
KZN wants to avoid a repeat of the deadly scenes at Maponya Mall in Soweto, where a driver was gunned down and set alight.
An unconfirmed number of suspects linked to the shooting have been arrested.
