Killers of President Zuma's bodyguard sought
A manhunt is underway for those involved in the murder of one of President Jacob Zuma's bodyguards in Eshowe in northern KwaZulu-Natal.
Media Liaison Officer for the Hawks Lieutenant Robert Netshiunda says Sergeant Mzwakhe Magwaza, who was with the Presidential Protection Unit based at Zuma's home in Nkandla, was killed when unknown suspects shot him outside his house at eNtumeni yesterday morning.
