The pair were rolling around in the road, during which the taxi driver pulled a knife out and stabbed the other motorist.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capt FC van Wyk, provincial police spokesperson, said police were investigating the matter. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said it had come to their attention only recently and a detective was assigned to the case, on Wednesday 9 July. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A seasoned detective was assigned to follow-up on this incident and he interviewed the victim at his residence in Wynberg, where an affidavit was obtained for investigation purposes.&#8221;                                                                                        \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Van Wyk, the case had been handed over the Western Cape Serious and Violent Crimes Taxi Violence Unit for further investigation. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"892\" data-attachment-id=\"267486\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/cape-town-taxi-driver-arrested-for-attempted-murder-after-road-rage-stabbing\/jkbroadrage-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JkbRoadrage-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"720,892\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;EVE-LX9&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1752229848&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"JkbRoadrage\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JkbRoadrage-1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JkbRoadrage-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-267486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JkbRoadrage-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/JkbRoadrage-1-242x300.jpg 242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A screenshot of the graphic <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;According to reports, the driver of a white Toyota Quantum taxi started a fight following an argument and the complainant fought back,&#8221; Van Wyk said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The taxi driver toppled the other man, then took a knife out and stabbed the complainant eight times. The taxi driver is an unidentified male, short in height and of chubby build.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The victim&#8217;s sister urged Facebook users to come forward with information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The incident began after the taxi driver repeatedly drove recklessly, cutting my brother off and using his mobile phone while driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, this road-rage incident escalated and ended with my brother stabbed multiple times by the taxi driver and possibly the guardjie [who beckons the travellers and collects the fares]. The driver then fled in the direction of Bellville.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said her brother managed to drive to N1 City Mall to fetch his daughter from college, where he collapsed. She also thanked the petrol attendants at a nearby petrol station who rushed her brother to hospital.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He underwent emergency surgery for internal bleeding caused by a lacerated spleen. By the mercy of Allah (SWT) his major organs were missed, and thanks to the thickness of his hoodie the stab wounds to his neck were not fatal.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stab victim&#8217;s sister added he had since been discharged from hospital and was recovering at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking to <em>People&#8217;s Post<\/em>, Ryno Saaiers, general secretary of <a href=\"https:\/\/santaco-gauteng.co.za\/\">Santaco<\/a> in the Western Cape, confirmed that the driver handed himself over to police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Wyk appealed to any witnesses to contact the investigating officer, Detective Sgt Thembelani Mekuto on 082 285 1058 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or MySAPS mobile application anonymously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A
