Sibanyoni says Taxi associations’ bucket money allegedly funds hitmen

Mpumalanga taxi boss Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni testifying before the Madlanga Commission about findings of the Shongwe Commission. Sibanyoni says the findings reveal that taxi associations collect unaccounted “bucket money” from drivers daily or weekly. The money is allegedly used at the discretion of association executives sometimes on security or hitmen. Sibanyoni says the practice can contribute to violence in the taxi industry. He also explains “sock money”, where drivers keep money above the daily target set by taxi owners.
