Ward 58 councillor, Geoff Pullan says he is still shocked.
"Apparently the gentleman came from KwaNongoma, which is an area of Hammonds Farm just above the temple site.
"As the community leader, I'm concerned and distressed that something like this should happen. We still don't know, the police are investigating so we'll find out the reason why. It's not nice when you hear of people being killed in your ward."
