A statement issued by Kyalami Corner said shots were fired at the on-site security officers in the parking area, however, no one was injured during the incident.
Mabulane appealed to the public with information that could lead to the arrest of the suspects to come forward. “We call on the community to work hand in hand with the police to bring these criminals and others that are terrorizing our communities to book.”
