Ntuli sends condolences to relatives of KZN mass shooting victims
Fourteen people were inside the home when gunmen opened fire in KwaMakhutha.
KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thami Ntuli has conveyed his deepest sympathies to the families of the victims of the mass shooting that took place in the Ziko area of KwaMakhutha, KwaZulu-Natal, on Tuesday night. According to Ntuli's office, a pregnant woman was among the eleven individuals who lost their lives in the horrific incident. The victims, who were among a group of 14 people gathered at a residential property, were targeted as attackers entered the yard and began shooting indiscriminately.
The Premier is scheduled to visit the scene on Wednesday morning to meet with the police, community representatives, and the families of the victims. Provincial police have initiated a manhunt for the suspects, who allegedly arrived at the scene in a group of three men and opened fire on the unsuspecting gathering. The preliminary investigations suggest that some of the victims had been under the watch of Crime Intelligence due to their involvement in illegal activities, a matter that police are withholding from the public for the sake of ongoing investigations.
