|May 21, 2025
THE cold-blooded killing of a well-known taxi owner in Musina last Saturday evening has ignited fears that taxi violence in the region may flare up again, potentially leading to more deaths.
Three people were killed and one injured in the incident.
According to a police report, the shooting occurred just after 23:00 at a liquor outlet in extension 2 in Musina. Lucky Siphuma (35), the deputy chairperson of the Nancefield Taxi Association, was sitting at the outlet, along with a taxi queue marshal, Ben Morudi (36). They were joined by other people, including a man known only as Walaza.
The group was seemingly approached by two unknown men, who shot both Siphuma and Morudi. According to the police, Walaza produced a firearm and returned fire, fatally wounding one of the attackers. The second assailant fled the scene. Another man, Gershwin Ronewa Mukwevho (25), was also injured during the shooting.
