Lwandle police officers registered a murder case after a woman was gunned down by unknown people at Ndzuzo Street <\/a>in Nomzamo on Wednesday. The incident occurred at 19:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police spokesperson Sgt Mthokozisi Gama said a preliminary report indicated a 29-year-old woman was on her way from work when she was shot and killed by unknown men who then fled the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe woman was declared dead on the scene by medical personnel. The motive for the killing is subject to investigation at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ward 86 councillor Xolani Diniso<\/a> described the incident as terrible, occurring as it has within the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis shows crime is high in our communities and we need to deal with it decisively. Our women and children are not safe. We are appealing to anyone with information on the incident to report it to the nearest station. Lwandle is becoming a crime zone. But our officers are trying their best to fight it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He urged the men to stand up and fight for their name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur name (as men) has been tarnished by these hooligans, who rape and kill women and children. We no longer are respected or trusted by our women and children because of the few individuals who are doing wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
