CATA and CODETA commit to peace after deadly taxi violence

About 18 people have been killed in recent weeks amid taxi violence in the Western Cape, linked to a route dispute between CATA and CODETA involving Delft and Epping. After a meeting with stakeholders on November 2, 2026, the rival organisations committed to maintaining peace and harmony in the Cape Town metro. Normal operations were reported at taxi ranks and stations across the city. SANTACO’s Western Cape spokesperson, Makhosandile Tumana, welcomed the meeting and urged the parties to honour their commitment.
