Johannesburg – North West Police are searching for gunmen who ambushed and shot dead a motorist after nails they allegedly drove into the road punctured his car’s tires.
Seal Kgasi, 58, got out of the car to change his tire only to be shot and killed by two men who were allegedly speaking in Shona. They also took his weapon.
His two female passengers who saw him shot to death, were stolen their money and cell phones by the same men who later fled.
According to Northwest Police Capt. Sam Tselanyane, the incident occurred shortly before 1 a.m. on Friday.
Tselanyane said Kgasi was driving from Rosslyn towards the British in a white Toyota Quantum minibus on the R566 road between Mmakau and Brits.
He was accompanied by two female passengers, he said.
“The vehicle suffered a puncture after it passed over peaks that were scattered on the road near the Solar Panels camp.
“Kgasi allegedly stopped the vehicle to repair the puncture, but was ambushed and shot by two suspects who were armed with firearms.
“As a result, Kgasi was fatally injured and his personal pistol and other belongings were stolen by the suspects. Additionally, the suspects also stole an undisclosed amount of cash and their cell phones from the two passengers. Suspects who are still at large were reportedly communicating in Shona. “
Tselanyane said they believe the Kgasi killers drove those nails into the road and then ambushed him after his tire went flat.
The provincial commissioner, Lieutenant General Seal Kwena, has condemned in the strongest terms the “alleged execution-style murder of Kgasi by ruthless criminals.”
Since then, Kwena has mobilized the 72-hour Activation Plan that includes the deployment of various units to track and arrest suspects.
“The public, especially motorists, are warned to be very vigilant when approaching that area at night, as it is becoming a hotbed of crime. We will leave no stone unturned to ensure that the alleged perpetrators are put on the books, “Kwena said.
Anyone who may have information that may lead to the arrest of the suspects should contact the Investigating Officer, Detective Sergeant Aubrey Kgomo at 082 520 1598.
Alternatively, they can contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111. Anonymous notices can also be communicated through the MY SAPS app.
