[HARASSMENT AND ACTS OF CRIMINALITY BY TAXI ASSOCIATION PATROLLERS]
Taxi patrollers and/or security personnel affiliated with taxi associations who harass and coerce motorists into making financial payments under threat, termed as 'fines, constitutes financial extortion and other related criminal offenses, particularly when accompanied by additional criminal acts such as confiscating keys of fellow motorists and holding them hostage.
We strongly encourage victimized motorists to report these incidents to the South African Police Service and urge law enforcement agencies to take decisive action in stamping the authority of the state as and when such incidents are brought to their attention.
The National Commissioner of the @SAPoliceService, General SF Masemola, will task all Provincial Commissioners to adopt a zero tolerance approach in dealing with these acts of crime.
Victimized motorists are advised to press criminal charges.
