visitors should avoid using the KwaNdengezi and Zwelibomnvu taxi associations

According to reports on 3 October 2008 violence between the KwaNdengezi and Zwelibomnvu taxi associations has resumed. In two separate drive-by shooting incidents during the early morning hours, one taxi driver was killed and four other people were seriously injured. Violence between the two associations was widespread throughout Durban earlier in the year over routes, but intervention from the transport department seemingly resolved the matter. The motive for the renewed violence is currently unknown, but an investigation is underway. The violence has left commuters in Durban stranded, as the city's bus system is not operational after 800 drivers were fired late last month.
