The resident said:

"We were having a meeting when a member alerted us that someone was taking a child. When we arrived, he started shooting. He ran out of bullets, and we managed to disarm him while he was reloading."

The father of the child who was allegedly about to be kidnapped by Mhlongo also told the publication that he wasn't around during the incident, however he also claimed that he had spoken to the Maskandi star on the phone and that Mhlongo claimed that they owed him rent money as it was his land.
