Increased protection for Okhahlamba Speaker following assassination attempt
Okhahlamba's
Municipal Speaker who walked away unscathed after an assassination attempt on
his life this week says he has been given extra protection.
Sthembiso Zulu had been with two other people in a municipal vehicle on their way home from work on Monday night when they came under attack in the eMatsheni area.
“I can’t say that I am recovering, because I was never admitted to hospital. But perhaps psychologically and emotionally, I am now fine,” said Zulu.
“The municipality has provided me with extra security, so I am safer than before.”

Police are investigating a case of attempted murder.
Zulu says he could not believe his eyes when he saw the bullet holes left on the car.
“It was dark, we couldn’t see exactly how many suspects there were, but when you look at the bullet holes it suggests there may have been two more people.”
Zulu says the bullets left different sized holes in the vehicle, leading him to believe at least two firearms were used when he came under fire.
