Parliament Condemns deadly taxi violence in Western Cape

South Africa's Parliament has condemned the ongoing violence in the minibus taxi industry in the Western Cape. The statement follows a series of violent incidents that have disrupted transport and threatened public safety in the region. Minibus taxis are the primary mode of transport for millions of South Africans. The industry is currently plagued by violent turf wars between competing taxi associations fighting for control of lucrative routes. Parliament has called for an immediate end to the hostility. It urges all parties involved to resolve their disputes through peaceful dialogue rather than violence. The legislature emphasized that the safety of commuters must be the top priority.
