Mpumalanga police officers are at the centre of a murder and attempted murder investigation after three eMbalenhle (Secunda) taxi drivers were shot dead and another seven injured in a violent protest in the mining town.

The probe comes after a feud between bus company and taxi association put the town on edge.
