She says the man who killed was part of the area's Water Scheme Project.
" Ngwadini happens to be an important area currently in that the dam is part or an extension of the lower Umkomaas Water Scheme Project.
"So that's one of the phases that's linked to the uMngeni project and that is currently under construction at the moment."
