WATCH | Bullets shot into the air in front of police as 'taxi boss' mourned in Joburg

'Taxi drivers started firing shots into the air. These drivers were attending the cultural ritual. No arrests were made.'

In the video, cars - including those from the Johannesburg Metro Police Department and one from a funeral parlour - can be seen parked on the side of the road. Other passing motorists who are not part of the entourage are also seen on the video.

Metro police spokesperson Chief Superintend Wayne Minnaar said that two JMPD patrol vehicles blocked off traffic lanes at Allum Road and Cumberland Street, near Eastgate, for a cleansing ceremony just before 1pm.“Other taxi drivers started firing shots into the air. These drivers were attending the cultural ritual. No arrests were made and the JMPD does not condone the shooting,” he said.
