Rooney Dangarembwa had worked at St Henry's Marist College in Durban for eight years. He was fatally shot in Ferguson Road on Sunday. 


A woman who had been in the car with him is still receiving treatment in hospital. 


Police say one arrest was made within minutes of the murder.

Officers said yesterday they were still searching for more suspects and called on witnesses to come forward. 


Acting principal at St Henry's, Stephen Leech says the school is also planning a memorial service for him.


"What we will probably do is have a memorial service together with Stella Sports Club - because coach Rooney also worked at Stella Sports Club down the road in Glenwood here. But the funeral will take place in Zimbabwe. They'll take the body back to Zimbabwe," he said.
