Motorists stoned along Cape road

Motorists passing through Cape Town's Du Noon were stoned on Tuesday morning, allegedly by protesting taxi drivers, Western Cape police said.

Spokesperson Inspector Daphne Dell said police had to intervene and stop them from stoning motorists using Potsdam Road.

She said similar incidents had been reported in other suburbs around Cape Town.

Nobody was injured nor arrested and police believe they had the situation under control.

Local radio station 567 Cape Talk reported that the incidents were related to the introduction of the government's Bus Rapid Transit system. - Sapa
