"A man approached his vehicle and knocked on the window. Councillor Mbatha refused to open the window, he was shot by the assailant in the face and the bullet exited at the back of his neck.
“At this time we cannot confirm whether or not the attack was personal or politically motivated. We look forward to the law enforcement investigation into the matter.”
