A man was shot and killed in what appears to have been a home invasion at a residence in Havenside, Chatsworth, south of Durban. The incident occurred early Tuesday morning when five men entered the home while the victim's mother was outside hanging up laundry.
Amawele Emergency Services responded to a distress call from Turfwood Place just after 5 AM. Paramedic Siven Subramoney reported that the victim, believed to be in his twenties, had been shot multiple times. He was rushed to the hospital in a private vehicle but was sadly declared dead upon arrival.
The victim's parents were treated for shock at the scene by Amawele paramedics before being transported to a private facility for further care.
The motive behind the home invasion remains unclear, and authorities are investigating the incident.
