Following the murder of three taxi marshals in Mofolo Central and a death toll of 59 in Soweto's taxi violence, Gauteng Transport MEC Kedibone Tlabela-Diale plans to shut down routes operated by rival associations Nanduwe and Wata for six months. 'It is better to lock down than continue to count dead bodies,' she stated.
