Three suspected African National Congress members – two men and a woman – were shot dead by three whites yesterday as they were travelling by taxi from Matsapa Airport to Mbabane.
An informed Swazi police source said it had been learned that the woman and a male colleague had met the third man, who had come off a flight at 2pm yesterday, and taken a taxi.
Shortly afterwards a BMW car which had been trailing the taxi, overtook them on a country road and forced the taxi to stop.
Three white men jumped out of the car and fired shots at the occupants of the taxi, killing the two men in the back seat. The woman tried to run away but was also shot dead.
Roadblocks have been set up on major roads leading to South Africa.
