Johannesburg - At least 40 Johannesburg metro police officers face disciplinary action over the June freeway shooting clash with the SA Police Service, The Star newspaper reported on Wednesday.
"We are in the process of taking disciplinary action against the people involved," Johannesburg metro police department chief Chris Ngcobo said.
He said gathering of evidence was complete. Based on evidence from photographs of the incident, about 120 JMPD members are believed to have been involved.
Ngcobo gave assurances that the matter would be pursued.
Striking metro officers fired on SAPS members on the M2 freeway south of the Johannesburg city centre during the evening rush hour after a protest by hundreds of JMPD officers went wrong.
Motorists hid behind their vehicles and were stuck in traffic jams for hours.
Their protest revolved around claims of nepotism and favouritism in the JMPD.

Dec 6 protest march London from noon
London UK - On December 6, South African workers in London plan to hold a protest march against the fact that they have been stripped of their voting rights.
The marchers start assembling from about 12 noon at the Temple Underground Station, on the Circle & District lines, London UK. telephone contact: 4402087853116 E-mail: info@sayfa.org.za
More than a million South Africans are working and living abroad, and they want to vote in the forthcoming presidential elections - but can't, only because of bureaucratic incompetence. The London-based spokesman for the SA Youth Forum Abroad said: "We are not allowed to vote in the South African general elections unless we go back home to register and then return again to cast our vote.' http://www.sayfa.org.za
Lets hope South Africans support this march and it gets some international press coverage.
