One man dead and another critical after shooting in Chatsworth home invasion

A man was killed and another critically injured when they were shot during a home invasion in Chatsworth, south of Durban, during the early hours of Thursday.

Two girls, aged seven and nine, an 18-year-old boy and a woman in her sixties were assaulted when robbers ransacked the home in Silverglen Drive.

“Paramedics arrived on the scene to find police and were guided into a house where they found two patients who had sustained gunshot wounds. One man believed to be in his forties had sustained a fatal gunshot wound to his chest.”

A second man believed to be in his sixties sustained a gunshot wound to his lower body and was in a critical condition. Advanced life support paramedics stabilised him and took him to hospital.

Amawele Emergency Service said the children and woman were treated for shock.

On Tuesday a woman was killed on Silverglen Drive when cash-in-transit robbers, fleeing a scene on the N2, shot at security guards.

Nokuthula Mbanjwa was walking on the street to catch a taxi to work when she was caught in the crossfire. She was a security guard at Lotus Primary School and would have turned 40 later this month.
