- KIM SWARTZ and GENEVIEVE SERRA

Mzukisi Zuuakala, 44, was shot dead and found inside his Toyota Quantum with multiple wounds to the head and body.

The shooting comes shortly after the reopening of taxi routes between Khayelitsha, Mfuleni and Somerset West after a month-long shutdown due to violent clashes between rival associations Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (Cata) and Codeta (Cape Organisation for the Democratic Taxi Association).

The closure of the routes followed six fatalities linked to the disputes.

Cata spokesperson Nkululeko Sityebi confirmed that Zuuakala was a member, however could not provide details of the incident.
