Ward 49 Councillor Tino Pillay has described Naidoo as a loved community member.
"We don't want it to be a matter where it is taken lightly. Murder is murder, and to make matters worse, he is a religious leader in the community, and we want SAPS to do what is necessary to apprehend the perpetrator.
"These issues affect the community because we are a close-knit community, and the leader himself is a well-known person. It is a shock to the community."
