A trusted source said that the incident does not involve the much reported feud between the Nasaret and Middelburg taxi associations.
The source said the incident in Cowen Ntuli Street relates to patrol vehicles for long distance taxi associations trying to prevent private vehicles from picking up commuters.
The Nasaret and Middelburg taxi associations signed an agreement to temporarily halt the feud between the two groups. The source says the agreement expires next week.
