Murder of North West businessman condemned
Pretoria - The South African National Civic Organisation in the North West Province has expressed shock and condemned the killing of businessman Wandile Bozwana, who was gunned down in Pretoria.
"We wish to condemn in the strongest terms possible the cold blooded murder and convey our condolences to the Bozwana family, his comrades in the ANC and broad revolutionary alliance, his business associates and partners. We call on police not to leave any stone unturned until those responsible for his horrendous death are brought to book," said provincial chairperson, Paul Sebegoe.
Bozwana died in hospital on Friday night following the shooting. Bozwana and a colleague, Mpho Baloyi, were travelling on the N1 north from Johannesburg at about 16:00.
Both were shot when gunmen in a silver grey BMW M3 allegedly pulled up next to their car near the Garsfontein off-ramp and opened fire on the branded Renault Clio.
About 12 bullets hit the car with nine of them hitting Bozwana, five in the lower back. Baloyi - who was driving the Clio - was shot twice, but managed to drive to a car dealership near Menlyn Shopping Centre to seek help.
