Although the motive for his killing is not yet known, tensions in the taxi industry are believed to be the cause.

Moya has been described by many as instrumental in the fight to bring peace to the taxi industry in Gauteng.

A case of murder has been opened, and investigations are underway after his bullet-riddled car was found on the Soweto Highway.
