The Cape Organisation for the Democratic Taxi Association (Codeta) and the Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (Cata) have confirmed they are now in conflict over the Khayelitsha-Somerset West route.

- MANDILAKHE TSHWETE

The two associations met on Tuesday in a bid to resolve the dispute, but the talks failed.

The violence follows a peace agreement signed on June 24 at a summit after the intervention of the South African National Taxi Council (Santaco) and the government.

Less than two months later, taxi drivers were attacked in Somerset West, Philippi East, Khayelitsha, Strand, and Macassar in just five days.

Cata spokesperson Nkululeko Sityebi said the current fight is about the route between Khayelitsha and Somerset West.
