Rival taxi associations in Cape Town have united through sport to commemorate Freedom Day . The associations have a history of violence, fuelled by deadly disputes and control over routes. But today was a clash of a different kind.
The taxi industry is the backbone of public transport in the Western Cape. It has, however, been rocked by killings and violence. There has been increased tension and fatal shootings over recent months, with drivers and commuters at risk.
But today, they called a truce and were opponents for the shared love of sport.
