Distraught family offers reward in Durban garage owner's murder
The family of murdered Durban garage owner, Kidesh Ramjettan who was gunned down at his garage in Rossburg last month, says they're are desperate to know why he was killed.
His brother, Anesh Ramjettan says they're offering a R300-000 reward.
Ramjettan says his parents and brother's distraught wife, Lonica and their two-year-old son, Kiaan are failing to come to terms with his death.
" My mum, dad, his wife and child - and all of us in general - cannot understand why would someone take Kidesh's life in this manner. As we speak, we are receiving medical attention. My mum's very distressed, and cries very often. My dad's also [very upset]. Kidesh's son is two-and-a-half years old and doesn't understand what happened to his dad. He asks for his dad and we keep telling him that his dad is at work," he said.
In CCTV footage that has emerged, Ramjettan is seen leaning into a vehicle and talking to a patron at the garage.
A man is seen approaching the vehicle, pulls out a silver firearm and shoots Ramjettan twice in the head and once in the chest.
Ramjettan says the family cannot understand the murder as his brother was a bubbly social person with no enemies.

He says the previous reward of R50 000 did not produce any leads so in a desperate attempt to find answers, the family decided to increase the reward.
"Please come forward and give us some information so that we can get some closure on this - for my mum and dad, his wife and his child," Ramjettan said.
