Four bouncers were shot and rushed to a hospital outside a nightclub at Greyville, in Durban on Saturday night.

According to Shawn Herbst, spokesperson for emergency service, Netcare 911, a group of bouncers were having a meeting outside a nightclub just after 22:00.

Herbst said a vehicle with an unknown description came towards the group, stopped in front of them, and opened fire.

He said at this stage, it was not clear whether it was high caliber rounds or not.

“Our team responded to the scene along with other private emergency service units. All four men were quickly transported to the hospital. Two were transported privately while others were taken to hospital by Netcare911. All four men were in a serious condition,” said Herbst.

Circumstances leading up to the incident will be investigated by the Berea SAPS who were on the scene, said Herbst.
