CAPE TOWN - Police are investigating the killing of four men in Nyanga, Cape Town, on Saturday night.
They were ambushed by gunmen on Old Klipfontein Road while fixing a flat tyre.
Emergency services declared the victims dead at the scene and the suspects are yet to be arrested after fleeing.
A preliminary police investigation shows the motive for the killings could be taxi-related.
Police spokesperson Colonel Andrè Traut has urged anyone with information to come forward.
“Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is urged to contact the investigating team via the SAPS Crime Stop number on 08600 10111 or submit information anonymously through the MySAPS mobile application. All information received will be treated with the strictest confidentiality,” Traut said.
Four counts of murder have been registered for investigation by the Serious Violent Crime Unit.
