Baloyi was killed in the Pretoria CBD when he and his fellow taxi drivers were trying to chase drug lords from the inner city.

 

It is reported that a shot was fired and Baloyi died on the scene.

 

Baloyi's sister, Hlamalani Baloyi-Jele, says the family is devastated by his passing and up until now they have not received any communication from the police about the investigation.

 

"We only know that the case of murder has been opened by the Central Police Station," says Baloyi-Jele.

 

Baloyi-Jele says all she knows is that when she got to the scene, she found her brother dead on the ground and covered up.

 

The 45-year-old driver is leaving behind his wife and three daughters.

 

Baloyi is expected to be buried in Soshanguve on Sunday.

 

Baloyi-Jele says Baloyi was a comedian and everywhere he went, he made people laugh.
