One of the men who was shot at the Strand Street taxi rank in Port Elizabeth Tuesday afternoon, has died.

Police spokesperson, Captain Stanley Jarvis, says 50-year-old Vusunzi Mahlabane of Motherwell died in hospital.

A 57-year old man who was with him at the time, is still in a serious condition in hospital.

The men were sitting on a bench at the taxi rank when two men jumped out of a bakkie and opened fire.

Jarvis says the motive for the shooting is not known.
