POLICE are offering a R100 000 reward for information that could lead to the arrest of the gunmen behind a deadly shooting at the Mfuleni taxi rank that left four people dead and three others injured, including a commuter.

Police spokesperson Brigadier Novela Potelwa said yesterday's incident took place around 6am at the old taxi rank when two unknown gunmen opened fire, striking seven people before fleeing the scene.

“Of the seven victims, one was a commuter that was injured,” said Potelwa.

The Western Cape Taxi Violence Unit has since launched a full investigation and is pursuing several leads.

No arrests had been made by yesterday afternoon, but detectives were pursuing several leads.

A reward of R100 000 has been offered for any information that could assist in the investigation.
