Woman injured in shooting might pull through
Woman expected to survive attempted assassination.
There is hope that the woman injured in the shooting on the Garsfontein offramp on Friday afternoon might survive.
Mpho Baloyi, an events co-ordinator at Orgazma Energy Drinks, was shot and injured during an apparent hit. Her passenger in the car, prominent North West businessman Wandile Bozwana, was shot six times.
He succumbed to his injuries in hospital just after 20:00 on Friday night.
Bozwana was one of the three co-directors of Orgazma Energy Drinks.
An anonymous spokesperson for Orgazma said it seemed that Baloyi would survive the horrific ordeal.
“We are hoping and praying that she makes a full recovery,” the spokesperson said.
The Brooklyn police are still on the hunt for the killers.
Sergeant Asnath Malatsi, spokesperson for the Brooklyn police, said they were yet to arrest someone in connection with the shooting.
The two were shot on the N1 northbound at the Garsfontein Road offramp while driving an Orgazma-branded yellow Renault Clio RS.
Directorate of Specialised Security spokesperson, Brandon Morgan, said a silver BMW M3 stopped next to the Clio when a man jumped out and fired multiple shots through the left side of the car.
Morgan said he counted 15 bullet holes from the left side of the car.
The motive for the shooting is not yet known.
Anyone with information on the shooting can call the Brooklyn police on 012-366-1700.
