Golden Arrow Bus Services says seven buses were set alight and four badly damaged in a protest in Nyanga, Cape Town, on Monday morning.
Spokeswoman Bronwen Dyke says people pulled drivers out of two buses at the Nyanga Bus Terminus around 6am and set the vehicles
alight.
From there, the crowd moved to Govan Mbeki Road, where four drivers were pulled from their buses and assaulted and the buses
set alight.
Dyke said the group damaged four more buses but were stopped before they could set them on fire.
A bus driver was assaulted nearby and one more bus set alight.
Eye Witness news reports at least one fatality - but its unconfirmed that the deceased was a taxi driver.
While residents claim the protest is the work of the taxi industry, the South African National Taxi Council says it can't confirm whether any of its drivers are involved.
