Murray Bridgman

Murray Bridgman is an advocate and mediator with the Cape Bar, where he was admitted in 1985. He handled his first taxi case in 1989 and has been involved in numerous taxi trials since then, including murder trials, trials arising from turf wars, and representations to the Operating Licence Board. His fascination with the taxi industry was kindled by a taxi boss, Michael Kupiso, who became a friend and taught him to understand the taxi industry. Kupiso and Bridgman gave evidence before the Ntsebeza Committee of Inquiry into Taxi Violence in June 2005. Kupiso was assassinated at his home four days later.
