Eleven suspects are expected to be charged with murder and attempted murder. 


Three people were gunned down at the rank on Wednesday morning. 


Police seized 25 firearms following the attack. 


The issue involving the Zamokuhle and Sonke taxi associations is in court after Sonke allegedly breached an interdict preventing it from interfering with Zamokuhle's Durban to Port Shepstone route.


Tranport MEC Willies Mchunu says he will sit down with the executives from both camps.


''As soon as we have met with the executive - I will then know whether they are willing to own up to their wrongdoing. 


''Usually when I meet with them and they have committed the crime, they own up - then we can look at how we can mediate the processes. If we have to meet with their lawyers we will do as well,'' he said.
