A group of unidentified gunmen opened fire on a minibus taxi on the R74 between Colenso and Weenen on Saturday night.
The taxi was carrying passengers returning to Johannesburg from KwaZulu-Natal.
Eleven people died and four others were wounded.
Police say the gunmen jumped out of bushes and opened fire.
The victims were members of a Gauteng-based taxi association and were travelling from the funeral of one of their colleagues.
This is the latest in a series of attacks on taxis in South Africa.
The country has seen a spate of taxi violence by rival groups vying for dominance on profitable routes.
KZN police confirm “multiple fatalities” in a taxi shooting on the R74 between Colenso & Weenen tonight. Passengers are believed to be from a Gauteng association, heading back after the funeral of a member in Ematimatolo. Other reports suggest as many as 11 dead. #TaxiViolence
