SECOND CAPE BUS DRIVER SHOT DEAD

TWO men shot dead a Golden Arrow bus driver in Lansdowne Road near Khayelitsha on Saturday night, Cape Town police said on Sunday. Superintendent Neville Malila said the men boarded the bus around 8.15pm, shot dead Sebenzile Miyana and then ran away with his cash box. Miyana was shot in the chest and was certified dead on arrival at a local hospital. Malila said the motive was believed to be armed robbery and not on-going taxi violence in the area. Miyana is the second Golden Arrow bus driver to be killed in less than a week. Last week Wednesday Samuel Twigg was shot dead after his vehicle ran out of petrol near the Golden Arrow bus depot in Philippi.
