“When paramedics arrived on scene, they found that both security guards had already died and there was nothing we could do.”
Both were shot in the head.
It was not immediately clear who was behind the shooting, but a reliable source told Rekord this could have been an assassination.
Life is so cheap in South Africa. Two security personnel shot dead escorting a courier van delivering cellphones in Atteridgeville.
