The Western Cape Taxi Task Team is investigating the shooting of five people at the Nyanga terminus on Monday night.

Provincial police spokesperson, Brigadier Novela Potelwa, said four people died on the scene while the fifth victim died in hospital.

"Three others were taken to a medical facility after sustaining serious injuries," she said.

Potelwa said the team of investigators is hard at work pursuing specific leads adding that the motive is "believed to be taxi-conflict related."

She said police have bolstered deployments at potential hotspots in the Cape Town peninsula response to the Nyanga shooting incident and another that occurred at the Cape Town station deck taxi hub where several individuals were injured on Monday afternoon.
