Woman shot 7 times in Bhekulwandle
A woman was gunned down in the KwaMakhutha policing precinct, allegedly shortly before she was due to appear in court as a witness.
A woman believed to be in her 50s was shot and killed at Bhekulwandle, situated inland from the main Amanzimtoti town centre, not far from Longacres Drive, this morning.
