Police search for Drip MD murderers

Glenda Ndlazi, managing director for Drip Footwear, was shot and killed at the driveway of her Centurion home on October 18 after arriving home from work.

Police have launched a manhunt for three men who were involved in the shooting and killing of the managing director for Drip Footwear.

28-year-old Glenda Ndlazi was shot and killed at the driveway of her Centurion home on October 18 after arriving home from work.

Ndlazi was parked outside her Wierdapark home waiting to be let in when three armed people opened fire on her.

Wierdabrug police spokesperson Sergeant Divine Nkuna said police were called to the scene at 18:10.

“She was seated on the driver’s seat. Witnesses said they saw three suspects who were travelling in an unknown white car,” Nkuna said.

“No arrests have been made.”

Ndlazi’s brother, Glen, told Rekord that on the day of the shooting his sister got home at 17:40, parked outside the gate and hooted for someone to come open the gate for her.

As the person was coming outside to open the gate, they saw a hand with a gun pointed at Glenda who was in the car.

“Then shots went off. I believe she tried to drive away when the shooting happened; so she reversed off the driveway,” he said.

“I think the shooting by then had escalated because she reversed into a wall. And that was that. The shooters got in their car and drove away.”

Glen said nothing was taken from his sister’s car, which led them to believe that the incident was a hit.

“If it were a robbery, she would have cooperated. She would have given her phones and laptops away; she wouldn’t have resisted,” he said.

“She would tell me to always cooperate during a robbery and not to fight.”

Glen said his sister’s booming career may have been the motive behind the shooting.

Ndlazi was killed two months before she could celebrate her 29th birthday. Glen said this has left her family devastated and confused.

In a quest to help find answers, friends and family have since created a hashtag on social media #WhoKilledGlenda to mobilise members of the public into putting pressure on law enforcement to find answers on who killed her.
