WEDNESDAY, 6.30PM:
A 33-YEAR OLD man was wounded in a shooting incident between members of the “Yakkie” gang and taxi drivers in Rocklands, Mitchell’s Plain on Tuesday.
Police said the bystander was taken to hospital after being shot and was later discharged.
Taxis blocked the road outside Mitchell’s Plain police station earlier on Tuesday demanding police protection from gangsters. The protest followed an incident in Rocklands on Monday in which a taxi driver was stabbed after conflict between drivers and gangsters.
The conflict in the area is the result of gangs demanding protection money from taxi drivers in the area, police said.
A suspect has been arrested by Mitchell’s Plain police in connection with the shooting.
