When Eyewitness News approached the Hawks for comment they said they could not comment as the matter was still under investigation. 

SANTACO  Western Cape's Makhosandile Tumana said taxi operations in Bellville are back to normal. 

"The operations were not normal but eventually the bomb searchers came, and they checked everywhere there, and it seems that it was a hoax. So, our operations have resumed, and we apologise to the commuters, it was beyond our control," said Tumana.
