Police in Johannesburg temporarily closed off the M1 highway near the Crown interchange after a shooting incident left two people dead.
Police spokesperson Lorraine van Emmerick says the incident happened when three men held another man at knife point near the highway.
The cornered man retaliated by shooting two of his attackers.
The incident comes just hours after National Police Commission Bheki Cele said half of crimes committed in South Africa take place in Gauteng.
Cele labelled the province the “home of crime”. He says that in order to deal with crime in South Africa, police need to tackle the problem in the province first.
