Eight passengers seriously injured after Golden Arrow bus petrol bombed in Cape Town
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.
