Mayor condemns Tembisa taxi violence
Gungubele praises police for their swift reaction to taxi violence in Tembisa
EKURHULENI mayor, Clr Mondli Gungubele, has condemned the ongoing taxi violence in Tembisa and appeals to the feuding parties to resolve their issues peacefully.
“That we have lost one person and three others injured as a result of the violence is a cause of great concern. It cannot be that when people disagree on something, they turn to the barrel of a gun for a solution. When such happens, innocent people are injured, families lose breadwinners and children lose their parents,” he said.
Gungubele commended the police for their swift reaction which resulted in the arrest of five suspects in connection with the taxi violence in the area. “Now that we have people behind bars, we shall rely on our courts to ensure that the guilty are effectively dealt with.”
