Three taxi bosses shot dead

Pretoria – Three taxi owners were shot dead last Thursday afternoon in Mabopane, according to police.

  Police spokesperson Captain Mavela Masondo said the men were conducting a discussion at corner Bushveld and August streets when they were killed in a drive-by shooting.   The men were certified dead on the scene.

  It is believed that the triple murder is linked to battles over taxi routes.
