He feared for his life

The meeting had been cancelled and this raised awareness among some of the group members

MNS squatter camp can be a dark and scary place.

A man residing in MNS had to block his house door with a cupboard as he feared for his life.

It is alleged that on Tuesday, September 4 a man was nearly killed after unknown suspects let loose and fired multiple shots through his front door.

Allegedly the man had to meet with his youth group on the night of September 24.

The meeting had been cancelled and this raised awareness among some of the group members.

The victim suspected that something was wrong as on the previous Saturday one of his friends had been attacked.

Before the gunshots were fired that night, the victim allegedly heard footsteps and a knock on his door.

This led him to block the door with a cupboard as nobody answered when he asked ‘Who is there?’.

It was right after asking this question that the shots were fired.

Luckily the man was not injured.

The suspects are unknown but the police are investigating the case.
