Two suspects were shot and killed in a gunfight with police in KwaZulu-Natal’s Inanda area on Tuesday morning. According to police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda, officers had been tracking the suspects, who were allegedly involved in a series of house robberies in the region.

After receiving a tip-off from residents, police located the men at a house in Nhungwane Area 1.

Cape Town Imam Gunned Down in Gqeberha

Meanwhile, police in the Eastern Cape are searching for two suspects in connection with the murder of 58-year-old Imam Muhsin Hendricks, who was fatally shot in Bethelsdorp, Gqeberha, on Saturday morning.

Hendricks, widely known as the first openly gay imam, was killed just hours before he was reportedly scheduled to officiate a same-sex wedding. Police spokesperson Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg said the imam was sitting in a gold VW T-Roc when a silver Toyota Hilux blocked the vehicle’s path.

“Two masked gunmen stepped out and opened fire, hitting Hendricks multiple times before fleeing the scene,” Van Rensburg stated. The motive for the killing remains unclear and is under investigation.

Police have urged anyone with information to come forward as they continue to track the suspects.
