Durban - A 60-year old taxi boss was shot dead in Durban in the early hours of Thursday morning, police said.
Police spokesperson Superintendent Muzi Mngomezulu said Gudluyise Ngcobo was waiting in his minibus taxi on Durban's Umgeni Road at 04:30 when a man walked up to his vehicle, pulled out a 9mm pistol and shot him four times.
The man then fled on foot.
Mngomezulu said no one else was injured in the shooting.
Police have yet to determine whether the attack was taxi related but Ngcobo was the chairperson of the Umgeni Taxi Association.
His death follows the shooting of four people in Durban's Umlazi area last Friday and the shooting of the public relations officer of the Inanda Taxi Association in Pinetown.
Police have opened a case of murder.
