Die Weskus kom \u201clig\u201d daarvan af, as gekyk word na die ingrypende en gewelddadige gevolge van die voortslepende taxi-staking in die Kaap. Die impak wat dit egter op die plaaslike ekonomie gaan h\u00ea weens inwoners wat nie vervoer gehad het om by die werk te kom en \u2019n verskeidenheid van verbruikersprodukte wat weens die staking nie in die Weskus kon uitkom nie, sal wel in die toekoms blyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die staking is die gevolg van \u2019n wetstoepassingsgeskil tussen Wes-Kaapse minibustaxi-operateurs onder die vaandel van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Taxiraad (Santaco) en die Stad Kaapstad. Dit het om 15:00 Donderdag 3 Augustus begin en Santaco het aangedui dat hulle tot Donderdag 10 Augustus gaan staak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Santaco beweer dat die Stad Kaapstad minibustaxibestuurders onregverdig teiken deur hul voertuie vir padveiligheidsoortredings te skut, en eis dat alle geskutte minibustaxi\u2019s teruggegee word sonder dat enige boetes betaalbaar is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In een van enkele voorvalle van geweld in die Weskus gedurende die staking het \u2019n groep misdadigers Dinsdagoggend 8 Augustus motoriste se voertuie op die Weskuspad (R27) met klippe bestook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In \u2019n video waarin die stukkende voorruit van \u2019n bakkie gesien kan word, s\u00ea die eienaar dat hy die oggend op die R27 onderweg was van Langebaan na Velddrif toe die bakkie deur klipgooiers getakel is. Die misdadigers het almal klapmusse gedra. Hy s\u00ea ook in die video dat die wit Isuzu-bakkie nie nommerplate gehad het nie en dat hy met die breek van die ruit amper van die pad af gery het. Teen druktyd kon die identiteit van die slagoffer nog nie vasgestel word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kapt. Tania Helfrich, woordvoerder vir die Weskus-polisiedistrik, het ges\u00ea Weskus-blitspatrollie het na die Isuzu-bakkie gaan soek, maar hulle kon dit nie opspoor nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy kon nie bevestig dat di\u00e9 voorval met die taxi-staking verband hou nie, maar het wel ges\u00ea dat die polisie die staking-situasie fyn dophou en dat die Weskus redelik stil is . . . behalwe vir \u2019n aspirant- Bonny en Clyde-paartjie wat moontlik van die situasie wou misbruik maak. Hulle het Vrydag in die vroe\u00eb oggendure een slagoffer beroof en probeer om \u2019n tweede een te oorrompel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die vermeende rowers, Xolewa Choli (32) en Sanele Sidumo (21), het \u2019n man in Diazweg met \u2019n vuurwapen van sy selfoon beroof. Die paartjie was nog besig met hul tweede slagoffer toe polisiebeamptes van Saldanha die misdadige aktiwiteit opgemerk het. Die rowers het van die toneel probeer vlug, maar Choli is in hegtenis geneem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Binne minute is Sidumo by sy huis in White City opgespoor, waar hy sy volle samewerking gegee het. Hy is gevra waar die gesteelde selfone is, waarop hy \u2019n Bybel met twee gesteelde selfone aan die polisiebeamptes oorhandig het. Hy het ook, n\u00e1 nog \u2019n paar minute, \u2019n musiekboks bo-op \u2019n TV-stel uitgewys. Die vuurwapen, wat toe al die tyd \u2019n speelgoed-replika was, was daarin versteek. Hulle verskyn vandeesweek in die Vredenburg-landdroshof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
