“It is reported that on the day of the incident a father and his two children were reversing out of their driveway when unknown suspects alighted from the vehicle behind them. One of the suspects allegedly started firing shots towards the father, who returned fire and fatally wounded one suspect.

“Following further investigation, information led Pinetown detectives to KwaDabeka, where a 35-year-old suspect was arrested. The suspect was found in possession of an unlicensed firearm and 14 rounds of ammunition,” said Magwaza.

Myeza has been charged in connection with the Sydenham case and he will appear at the Durban Magistrate’s Court today (Monday, November 2).
