Eleven members of Gauteng's Ivory Park Taxi Association died in a hail of bullets on R74 between Colenso and Weenen on Saturday.

They were ambushed while travelling back to Gauteng after attending the funeral of another operator near Greytown.

Four other people were critically wounded in the attack - two escaped injury.

The taxi council's Mathula Mkhize feels the killings have cast a blight on efforts to stop violence in the industry.
