Nobody''s business

In 2003, Thabo Jijana''s father was gunned down in a scrap between rival taxi associations who had been forced to operate from a single rank. A decade later, Thabo faces up to South Africa''s most violent industry to try to figure out how and why his father was murdered. In this searing first-person investigation, Thabo puts a face behind a recurrent tragedy that plagues South African working class communities. By speaking to the people who knew his father best, he tries to fill in the blanks that are the years that have followed his father''s death. He begins by trying to reconstruct the night the murder took place, but what he uncovers about the ongoing strife that has plagued government''s consistent attempts to formalize this multimillion-rand industry comes with more baggage than he expected.
