Pastor Shot Outside his Church in South Africa

In South Africa, a pastor based in KwaZulu-Natal has been shot dead just outside his church.

Local Media reports that paramedics were called to the scene of the shooting at a mission house adjacent to the Anglican church in Hambanathi, in Tongaat, on Monday morning.

A full advanced life-support resuscitation was initiated but the patient’s condition rapidly deteriorated and he sadly succumbed, it is reported.

KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Col Thembeka Mbele said police were investigating a case of murder.

In May, the community of Hambanathi was thrust into the spotlight when teen Andile “Bobo” Mbuthu was brutally murdered after allegedly stealing alcohol.

The six men accused of the murder of the teen were expected to appear in the Verulam magistrate’s court on Tuesday for the resumption of their bail application hearing.
