Scope and content
Taxi industry conflict, after the 1994 elections, intensified with killings and assassinations taking place on a regular basis involving the injury and deaths of individuals caught in the cross-fire. The taxi industry was problematic with competition for over-serviced routes, pirate taxis, unroadworthy vehicles and fraudulent permits and competition for routes.
