Despite the ongoing taxi violence in Cape Town, some commuters say they have managed to travel safely to their destinations on Thursday morning.
In Khayelitsha, three people were shot and killed in two separate incidents linked to taxi violence this week.
The shootings are the latest incidents in an ongoing dispute between taxi associations CATA and CODETA over routes between Delft and Pinelands.

Khayelitsha commuter Luyanda Khonto says they have been travelling safely but remains concerned about the violence.
“We’ve been travelling okay. Even this morning, I haven’t seen anything. I’m still coming off duty now, and I still have to travel to Khayelitsha, so I will see how it goes. Going forward, we really wish for safe travels. Everybody wants to be safe on the road, and nobody wants to be in danger. We are trying to get to work and make a living for ourselves and our children. It would be very sad if anything happened to us on the road.”
