Durban - Several people have been killed in a shoot-out in Greytown, KwaZulu-Natal on Friday.

Two police sources with knowledge of the incident, who could not be named as they are not authorised to speak to the media, said that officers from the Special Task Force had been involved in the shoot-out with a gang of gunmen.

Initial reports from the scene were that five gunmen had been killed and three others were critically wounded.

It is understood that the Special Task Force operation may have been in response to a spate of police killings in the province.

This is a developing story. More to follow.

Five dead in police shoot-out

A SPECIAL police task team has reportedly just shot eight members of a gang believed to have been responsible for cop killings in KZN, including that of W/O Jeriko Mdletshe, who died in an attack at Gingindlovu on Monday.

Information is scant at present but five criminals are said to have died in today’s shootout at Seven Oaks, on the road between Greytown and Pietermaritburg.

Three other criminals were said to be critically injured while one SAPS member is reported to have been wounded.

On Monday this week W/O Mdletshe (52) and Constable Senzo Ndwandwe (37) came under fire when they investigated a suspicious car on the R102 near Shoprite, Gingindlovu on Monday morning.

Mdletshe died at the scene and Cst Ndwandwe was shot five times.

He is reportedly in a stable condition in Netcare Alberlito Hospital.

KZN shoot-out death toll now 7

Durban - The death toll from a shoot-out near Greytown in KwaZulu-Natal on Friday has risen to seven.

Two police sources, who could not be named because they are not authorised to speak to the media, confirmed the toll.

It was understood that a Special Task Force was deployed after information was received that a gang was on its way to effect a cash-in-transit heist.

When the task force encountered the gang, a shoot-out ensued.

At least seven members of the gang were killed. One was arrested and two vehicles and several firearms were recovered.

Two other vehicles apparently fled the scene with some gang members.

Police spokesperson Major Thulani Zwane was en route to the scene and would be able to provide more information later.

Probably but what is guaranteed is they'll get more low pay, vilification in the media and be compromised at every turn by the justice system.

Yet every day they'll be out there risking their lives....
