The victims were travelling in a white VW Polo when they came under fire.
By-standers were unable to confirm what vehicle the suspects were travelling in.
The SAPS were on the scene.
The publication spoke to a parent outside the school who had come to fetch her children.
The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said they were alerted to the shooting incident by police.
Her six-year-old son told the publication that they “heard shooting while on lunch break”, which was around 10.30am.
Last year, three drive-by shootings took place in the Bayview area that claimed the lives of three people.
Two of those shootings took place on Lenny Naidu Drive.
In May, a Chatsworth lawyer was gunned down in an apparent drive-by shooting incident while parked at a traffic light at the Westcliff-off ramp in Chatsworth.
According to an incident report, the lawyer had been seated as a passenger, and his brother had been driving when they came under attack.
Both the lawyer and his brother were shot during the incident.
The brother, who is believed to be a panel beater, drove straight to Chatsmed Hospital.
The lawyer died on arrival.
