His spokesperson, Mluleki Mntungwa says Ngcobo got into Taxify to make extra money.
"Speaking at his funeral - the MEC called on all stakeholders to learn to resolve their conflicts through constructive engagement instead of resorting to violence. 21-year-old Siyabonga was a final year student at TUT but he also ventured into this business so that he can earn a living while pursuing his studies," Mntungwa said.
