In South Africa, the army has been deployed to Cape Town, as what's being described as a "taxi war" continues to escalate.
Dozens of people have been killed over the past few months, with rival taxi associations battling it out for ownership of a hotly contested route.
Authorities have now closed the route, in a bid to restore calm.
But thousands of commuters are bearing the brunt of the closure.
