In Cape Town, violence and unrest are on the rise, causing fear and uncertainty for both travelers and locals. A recent event in Philippi saw a woman tragically killed and two others severely wounded while entering a minibus taxi. This is just one in a series of violent incidents connected to the taxi sector, with 16 people wounded and seven fatalities in the preceding month. The reasons behind the violence are unclear, but speculation points to internal conflicts within the Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association.
