Two men were shot dead in a suspected drive-by shooting on Saturday night on the M1 Higginson Highway in Chatsworth.
Emergency services were dispatched to the scene near the RK Khan’s off-ramp at around 9.30pm, where they found two men inside a stationary vehicle. Both had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
Paramedics assessed the victims but found no signs of life, and they were declared dead at the scene.
It is understood that the men had been in a vehicle that had come to a stop when another vehicle approached and occupants opened fire before fleeing the area.
Members of the South African Police Service were already on the scene when medics arrived and subsequently cordoned off the area for further investigation.
The circumstances leading up to the shooting remain unclear, and police have launched an investigation into the incident.
