Authorities investigate allegations involving armed security guards in KwaNdengezi after multiple reports of harm and harassment targeting e-hailing drivers and passengers. According to reports, an incident includes gunshots fired at an e-hailing vehicle, alongside claims that a driver’s female passengers were harassed. Following the attack, three guards are arrested in connection with the shooting and the alleged harassment. The detained suspects are described in one account as members associated with the KwaNdengezi Taxi Association.
Transport and other stakeholders call for improved safety measures in the e-hailing sector as the probe expands. A second e-hailing driver comes forward with allegations of intimidation by KwaNdengezi security guards and lays charges related to unlawful conduct. Further scrutiny centers on claims that some of the detained men may be parolees, which could have implications for parole conditions and lead to additional legal action if confirmed.
The matter is handled through ongoing investigations by relevant authorities, and the arrests are presented as part of efforts to address alleged violence and misconduct affecting transport workers and passengers in the area.
