On Friday, November 17th, the clash between taxi associations and truck operators occurred in Nelspruit. This incident resulted in the torching of two taxi patrol vehicles and two trucks in Komatipoort, with tensions escalating due to dissatisfaction among truck operators with border post services. The confrontation led to alleged gunfire, injuring a truck driver, and subsequent retaliation involved the torching of two association vehicles. Investigations are ongoing, and the SAPS Provincial Commissioner has condemned the violence, emphasizing the need for collaborative solutions.
