Vijay Ghanshamdas, a “decades-long friend” and business partner of Jason Lambe, who was gunned down while waiting for breakfast in a popular Johannesburg eatery on Thursday, says he has more questions than answers about his friend’s “unexpected end”.
At the time of the murder, they were involved in a supply business in the hydroponic cannabis industry.
“Jason spent very little time in SA. Over the course of the last three years he probably spent about three months here. The rest of the time he was in Dubai,” says Ghanshamdas.“This is insanity. How is it possible that gunmen can walk into an eatery in one of the busiest areas of Johannesburg in broad daylight and do this and get away? There must be hundreds of cameras in that area.”
“The victim himself was armed, but did not have the time or opportunity to draw his own weapon,” said the police source. “Investigators are looking into information that the deceased was a witness to a violent crime in the past. It is unclear if this incident took place in SA or abroad but the investigation is still in a very early stage.”“There is almost no violent crime in the UAE, so it would have had to have happened here. If Jason witnessed something like that in SA he would have mentioned something, even in passing.”“Jason had no enemies that I know of. No angry ex-wife or business partners, nothing.
