 Gauteng taxi boss gunned down on Soweto Highway


A well-known Gauteng taxi association leader, Thani Moyo, has been shot dead in a brazen attack on the Soweto Highway.


Moyo was travelling in his vehicle on Wednesday afternoon when unknown gunmen opened fire, fatally wounding him. He died on the scene before emergency services could arrive.


Police spokesperson Colonel Mavela Masondo confirmed the incident, saying the motive for the shooting is not yet known but investigations are underway.


“Police have opened a case of murder following the shooting of a 47-year-old man who was travelling along the Soweto Highway. At this stage, the suspects are unknown, and the motive cannot be confirmed. We are appealing to anyone with information to come forward,” Masondo said.


The killing has sent shockwaves through the taxi industry, which has been plagued by violent power struggles over routes and leadership positions.


Moyo was a prominent figure in Gauteng’s taxi sector, often mediating disputes between rival operators. His death is expected to heighten tensions in the already volatile industry.


Police said a manhunt has been launched for the suspects.
