‘I live with fear’: KwaMakhutha mother mourns two sons killed in mass shooting
A KwaMakhutha mother says she cannot sleep after her two sons were killed in a shooting at her homestead that left 11 people dead.
Nomusa Zulu, a mother from KwaMakhutha, is grappling with fear following the mass shooting that claimed the lives of her two sons, Mlungisi Zulu, 35, and Scelo Zulu, 31, along with nine others. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening at a homestead in the Ziko area outside KwaMakhutha, Durban. Zulu, who was at her other home in Adams Mission at the time of the shooting, returned to the scene after learning of her sons' deaths.
She expressed her fear, stating that she was unable to sleep due to the incident, as she had heard gunshots the previous night and couldn't determine their source.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident, with preliminary findings revealing that some of the victims were under the Crime Intelligence's radar for alleged illegal activities. Police have not disclosed the names of the victims to protect the ongoing investigation. The two deceased sons were reportedly on holiday with their friends when they were ambushed by unknown men.
Zulu's family and neighbors have been receiving tributes from political parties, including the DA and uMkhonto weSizwe Party, in response to the tragedy.
