The 45-year-old woman from Emmangweni section killed in this morning’s taxi violence in Tembisa was an employee of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).

Tembisan reported earlier the news of the woman’s death left her family in shock and disbelief.

“Yesterday an unknown white motor vehicle arrived at Esangweni Taxi Rank. Shots were fired and a queue marshal was shot and injured. The queue marshal was transported to hospital where he is still receiving medical treatment.

“This morning an unknown vehicle arrived at the same taxi rank and shots were fired. Four passengers boarding a taxi to Johannesburg were shot and one of the four, a 45-year-old woman from Emmangweni section, died at the scene. A case of murder and a case of attempted murder were opened,” Gauteng SAPS Provincial Major Mack Mngomezul told Tembisan earlier.
