A 14-year-old girl was fatally shot in Cape Town, South Africa, amid ongoing violence between rival taxi associations.
The attack, which also killed a taxi operator and injured two pupils, highlights the decades-long conflict in the lucrative taxi industry.
The shooting occurred as students left Atlantis Senior Secondary School, sparking panic and outrage.
Authorities condemn the “senseless act” and offer a reward for information leading to arrests.
The violence is linked to tensions between traditional minibus taxis and e-hailing services. Officials stress that commuter and learner safety is “non-negotiable” and urge swift justice.
