Mkhize escaped with two bullet wounds to the right leg and hand when they were shot at in Umlazi V section, about two weeks ago.
IFP proportional representation councillor in Mkhambathini Municipality, Menzi Mkhize, has spoken out for the first time about his survival after a hail of bullets hit the car in which he was a passenger.
“Fortunately, I had my firearm with me so I shot back at our assailants and I believe that’s how we survived. Had it not been for that, I think all of us would have been killed. I heard one shouting calling for backup from his co-assailants. At that time I was running away, leaving the gunmen lying on the ground, and I had run out of bullets so I was running for cover and safety.reported last week that a call for intensified police visibility has been echoed by Shandu’s family.
As a district chair that did not sit well with me. When people get shot, you get worried because you don’t know who survives and who does not. We don’t know who the target was here but by the look of things gunshots came through the driver’s side. That the two councillors were together when this happened shows political maturity. They are from different parties but that did not affect their relations.
