Two women shot as they were walking to their car
Two women have been wounded in a drive-by shooting in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. According to reports, the incident took place in the province’s eShowe area on Wednesday night.
The two women, who were identified as Nonhlanhla Zondi and Thandi Zuma, were walking home when a vehicle drove past them and opened fire.
This shocking incident is another reminder of the gun violence that plagues many communities in South Africa.
The women were rushed to a nearby hospital and are said to be in stable condition, but the emotional and psychological trauma they have undergone cannot be overlooked.
The community is outraged and demanding justice for the victims.
In response to the shooting, the Minister of Police, Bheki Cele, has expressed his concern and condemned the attack.
“It is unacceptable that innocent citizens are caught in the crossfire of criminals who have no regard for human life. We will do everything in our power to bring those responsible to justice.”
This incident also serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight against gender-based violence in South Africa.
Women and girls are often the targets of violent attacks, and it is crucial for law enforcement to take a strong stance against such crimes.
An investigation into the shooting is underway, and it is vital that the perpetrators are held accountable for their actions.
The eShowe community is coming together to support the victims and their families during this difficult time.
Local leaders are urging residents to come forward with any information that could assist in the investigation.
