The trial of the four men accused of killing three people near the offices of the Intercape bus services in Gqeberha will recommence in the city's high court on Monday.
Neavan du Preez, 36, Jody Cloete, 29, Austin Augustus, 25, and Justin van Rensburg, 28, face a slew of charges, including murder, attempted murder, theft of a motor vehicle, and the unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.
They have all pleaded not guilty to the shooting on Good Friday, 2021.
On that day the three were allegedly dropped off by van Rensburg who is said to have been the getaway driver and lay in wait for Jonathan Bruintjies and Davidene van Zyl before they shot and killed them.
An innocent bystander, Fortune Nyathi, also lost his life.
Bruintjies and van Zyl were allegedly targeted in an apparent ongoing gang dispute over territory.
The accused are allegedly members of the "Mechanics/Hondekoppe" gang, while Bruintjies was a member of the "Narries" gang.
Shortly after the shooting, police spotted their getaway vehicle in Newton Park where the fleeing suspects opened fire on the police.
Their speeding car, which was stolen in Humewood, came to a standstill after hitting a pole in Schauderville, with men fleeing in different directions.
Du Preez and Cloete were apprehended in Highfield Road, with each allegedly in possession of a firearm, while the third co-accused was arrested three months later.
The investigating officer is expected to take the stand when the trial resumes on Monday.
