South African police said gunmen have opened fire on a minibus carrying members
of a taxi drivers' association, killing 11 people and critically wounding four
others, Fox News reported.
Police Brig. Jay Naicker said the victims of the
Saturday night attack had attended the funeral of a colleague and were
returning home when the ambush occurred. He said the attack happened between
the towns of Colenso and Weenen in KwaZulu-Natal province and the victims were
from Gauteng province.
Police were investigating possible motives.
Tensions between groups of taxi drivers vying for
the same routes sometimes spill into deadly violence in South Africa.
South African media reported the deaths of 10 people
in violence related to rivalries among minibus taxi drivers in Cape Town over
one weekend in May.
