The Western Cape Government has condemned a taxi-related shooting incident in Atlantis, where a local businessman and taxi operator, and a Grade 8 learner lost their lives.
The shooting, which took place outside Atlantis Senior Secondary School in Palmer Avenue on Wednesday, also resulted in two other learners being injured.
Head of Mobility, Isaac Sileku, said violence of this nature undermines community safety, disrupts education, and instils fear among residents.
The MEC said the Western Cape Government will continue to work closely with law enforcement and the judicial system to address the root causes of taxi‑related instability.
