Johannesburg – The Gauteng National Taxi Association has been plunged into mourning following the fatal shooting of its chairperson, Thami Moyo, who was gunned down along the Soweto Highway earlier today.
According to preliminary reports, Moyo was travelling in his vehicle when unknown assailants opened fire, fatally wounding him. Authorities arrived on the scene shortly after the incident and confirmed his death.
Police spokespersons have stated that investigations are underway, with no arrests made at this stage. The motive behind the killing remains unclear, though speculation is rife given the history of violent disputes linked to the taxi industry.
Moyo was a prominent figure in Gauteng’s taxi sector, often seen as a mediator in ongoing disputes and an advocate for better regulation of the industry. His death marks a significant blow to the association and raises concerns about escalating violence within the sector.
The Gauteng National Taxi Association has yet to release an official statement, but colleagues and community members have described Moyo as a dedicated leader who championed the rights of operators and commuters alike.
Police have appealed to anyone with information to come forward as the investigation continues.
