Westville family offering R100k for info on mom’s shooting
The family of a 52-year-old Durban woman who survived a shooting this week is offering a reward of R100 000 in exchange for information on the attempted murder.
Police say the woman, who cannot be named as investigations continue, was travelling to Westville when gunmen opened fire on her car on the N2 off-ramp near Pavilion Mall.
She was hit in the shoulder.
The motive for the shooting is being investigated.
Her son says what happened to his mother was horrific.
"The bullet in her face caused such shock, her glasses fell off and she thought she couldn't see so she bent down and as she bent forward four bullet holes went into the back of the seat where she was sitting.
"So we are incredibly happy that she is going to be fine and we are just blessed that it is going to be far worse."
He says his mother is recovering well.
He says one of the bullets fractured her shoulder, but it could've been worse.
"If you find out that anyone - your mother, wife is driving up the freeway holding her face because there is a bullet in it and just trying to get to a hospital or any help. It is horrific and the sense of helplessness is indescribable."
The family has appealed to anyone who witnessed the shooting or has information on the suspects' whereabouts to contact their nearest police station or Stuart Weston on 082 360 8997.
