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

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.

Isn’t there a law regarding the discharging a weapon in a public place ?

Cops know that people can be killed by bullets falling from the sky, right? They obviously don't care.

No one is above the law. Their day is coming

The world we live in

Of course no arrests were made. Taxi drivers are above the law. Cops are a useless waste of tax payers money.

I wonder how many of those fire arms are licenced?
