A 14-year-old student was killed and two others injured in a shooting outside Atlantis Senior Secondary School in Cape Town, South Africa. The attack, which targeted a taxi operator, is linked to ongoing violent turf wars within the nation's lucrative taxi industry. Police are investigating the incident, which saw a taxi driver and another man also shot. Officials condemned the violence, stating that children should not face danger while commuting to school and urging swift justice for those responsible.
This latest incident highlights the long-standing and often deadly conflict plaguing South Africa's dominant minibus taxi sector, exacerbated by competition from e-hailing services.
