It is unclear what the circumstances regarding the issue are and the North Eastern Tribune is currently awaiting comment from the Metro police and SAPS.

The video has seen numerous responses, from Twitter users, with many expressing concern around the lack of police visibility in the area:

The taxi industry is an essential part of our economy but no one seems to be able to control it. Taxi Associations do not seem to exercise any control – lawless.
