In another incident, a Manor Gardens man who tried to fight back when three armed men invaded his home at the weekend, died last night.
Bheki Makaula, 32, was shot in the stomach after attempting to run for help while the robbers ransacked the bedrooms.
Speaking to the Daily News yesterday, his distraught mother, who did not want to be named, said her son had been in the lounge with his 16-year-old son and friends on Saturday evening.
“A boy who helps us with driving came, pushed by three men with guns to his head,” she said.
The men held the occupants at gunpoint while they stole their cellphones and raided the house.
“When they went to the bedroom, my son must have tried something and they shot him,” she said.
The robbers fled in the family’s Audi A4 which was later recovered in uMlazi.
Zwane said a case of house robbery and attempted murder was being investigated by Mayville police.
