DA KZN leader shares incident's details
Speaking to Briefly News, Rodgers said that the brutal murder happened in front of his family.
“There were two gunmen who approached his house. They kicked the door down, entered the house and chased him into his bedroom. 10 shots were fired, and his wife, his five-year-old child, infant and nanny were present. This has to be some hit.
“We don’t want to speculate at this stage, but there has been some unhappiness in the community about the disconnection of illegal electricity. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Ndlovu family, and called on SAPS to investigate it because this killing was premeditated.”
KZN Police's Robert Netshiunda confirmed that the South African Police Service is aware of the murder.
"A case of murder has been opened, and no arrests have been made as yet," he told Briefly News.
