“At first we thought it was a thunderstorm but I realised it was gunshots, and when I looked out the window I could still see the gunpowder smoke,” how Kwenzekile Ngcobo remembers the shooting in Ndwedwe Mission village.
The Gumede family mourn the loss of one of their own after a shooting in Ndwedwe, Durban, on November 5.“At first we thought it was a thunderstorm, but I realised it was gunshots, and when I looked out the window I could still see the gunpowder smoke.”
Ngcobo said they were disappointed by reports that the men were drinking alcohol at the time of the shooting. He had been indoors for days with a bout of flu but went out on that day to buy an online betting voucher from the tuck shop for the MTN8 Final between Orlando Pirates and AmaZulu. “You could see he was planning to come back to sleep because he hadn’t even made his bed. So since he was not working that day and it was raining, he couldn’t be herding cows, I just knew then that he was in the tuck shop.”
Slindile Gcabashe, a social worker from the Ndwedwe Police service’s gender-based violence and femicide, urged residents to go for counselling.
