A 40-year old taxi driver was killed following a shooting in Delft South today (13 March). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Brian Daniels, says Michael Soko (40) was in his taxi when an unknown suspect opened fire on him at the Delft Taxi Rank shortly before 05:00. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A portion of Delft Main Road was closed off as the taxi driver tried to flee and crashed into the fence of a house. Shortly before 10:00, the man\u2019s body was removed from the vehicle while residents looked on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Residents claim rival taxi associations have been fighting since Friday 10 March. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniels says six cartridges were found at the taxi rank and no arrests have been made at this stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
