News24 reports that another Golden Arrow (GA) bus was set alight this week in Cape Town, this time along Goven Mbeki Road in Nyanga on Tuesday morning.
A bus was petrol bombed on Monday along Duinefontein and Govan Mbeki roads in Gugulethu, leaving eight passengers injured. In the attack on Tuesday, three people were injured and were transported to medical facilities. On social media, pictures of the torched bus were circulated, showing several windows that had been broken. Some social media users claimed the bus came to a complete stop when two bricks were thrown towards it, smashing the windows. GA spokesperson Bronwen Dyke-Beyer said the motive for the bus attack was unknown, however “given the location of the incidents they may be linked to the protests regarding MyCiTI construction taking place in the area.” Western Cape police spokesperson Sergeant Wesley Twigg said Public Order Police and the City of Cape Town’s LEAP and Traffic Services had been deployed to the area. The members will remain in the area to monitor the situation and respond to any eventualities.
