News24 | Eight passengers injured after Golden Arrow bus petrol bombed in Cape Town

A Golden Arrow bus has been torched in Cape Town.

Eight passengers were injured when a Golden Arrow Bus Services (GABS) bus was petrol bombed near Duinefontein and Govan Mbeki Roads in Gugulethu, in the early hours of Monday.

GABS spokesperson Bronwen Dyke-Beyer said reports from the scene suggested that the attackers used “darkness and the homes around them” as cover.

“Eight passengers were injured in the attack and are receiving medical attention. The fire was extinguished quickly by law enforcement and traffic services,” she added.

GABS condemned the attack.

“These attacks are callous and extremely dangerous and cannot simply be accepted as the norm,” Dyke-Beyer added.

The City of Cape Town’s fire department referred News24 to the police, who were approached for comment.

Their comment will be added once received.
