Jabulani Ben Gumbi, a North West businessman who was brutally killed in front of customers and workers at a Rustenburg coffee shop on Wednesday, knew his life was in danger weeks before the horrific murder.
Gumbi was shot multiple times after being ambushed by two gunmen in front of Plat Coffee around 8 a.m.

Weeks before the attack, the businessman sent a video warning potential attackers of purported death threats against his life and family.
“Those who declare war against me and the development, brace yourself, it is not going to be easy. Just make sure you do not lose, it will not be easy. If you declared war and threatened me and my family, please be sure of what you are doing. You may be the worst loser, whether I am here or not. It is not a threat but a promise. Be sure you know what you are doing. Be careful,” he said.

Gumbi’s relatives said the death threats emanated from a land development dispute. Gumbi was part of a community trust that owned land in Rustenburg. The land was set for a smart city development.
