Gauteng police say it's alleged two men approached the duo in a white VW Polo and opened fire on them yesterday afternoon.


No arrests have yet been made.


The police's Lungelo Dlamini said: "We haven't linked this to taxi violence, but are investigating the possibility."


The police urge anyone with information about the shooting to come forward.


In May, three people were shot and wounded in apparent taxi violence at the new mall.


It's understood two rival taxi associations are clashing over the Mall of Africa taxi route.


In a statement, Mall of Africa Brand Manager, Vanessa Fourie, confirmed the fatal shooting.


"At this time we are working closely with the SAPS who responded swiftly and efficiently," she said.
