Eastern Cape police say they’re keeping an eye on a tense situation in Mthatha where taxi-related protests continue.
A number of roads, including the N2 and the R61, remain closed.
Earlier on Monday, police arrested five suspects after shots were fired at Public Order Policing and Mthatha Vispol members.
Two suspects were wounded while three others were arrested.
The police’s Priscilla Naidu said that two firearms were confiscated and a case of attempted murder and the possession of firearms were opened for further investigation.
“Public Order Policing, the National Intervention Unit, and Tactical Response Teams are in Mthatha policing the situation. Provincial commissioner, Lieutenant-General Nomthetheleli Mene, is warning those who are circulating videos and messages that appear to incite unrest. Such actions are not only irresponsible but also illegal.”
