Fortuner, mistaken identity hit if you ask me...

The guys would have been after a taxi boss in a Fortuner with the same colour and a similar number plate.

They mention his fiend Janus Horn in the article. Is that Janus Horn from Sica's guest house?

That grouping in the drivers door is indicative of a hit if you ask me....

So, could it be a media company eliminating competition?

Tinfoil hat stuff but this being KZN, it's not that farfetched.

Speedy recovery to him.

Seems like photography has become a dangerous business in Durban.

Most definitely a hit - why would you should up a car like that in a hijacking?

Sad thing is, if someone had been following his Facebook page he put one of those events up saying that he was on the way home from JHB. They might have followed him from the airport.

Durban videographer shot at 50 times returns to work

Durban - A videographer who was shot at on the N3 in May is back behind the lens and hoping those responsible feel bad for shooting someone innocent.

Daryl Kotze is well-known for filming the music videos of South Africa’s biggest hip hop stars.


He was travelling to his Glenwood home on the N3 when a car drove up next to his Toyota Fortuner. The occupants riddled his SUV with bullets.

Kotze, who was struck several times, lost control of his vehicle and hit a wall, before overturning and coming to a halt in the middle of the road.

Speaking for the first time since the incident, Kotze said he still had no memory of the shooting; his last recollection was of leaving a music video shoot in Johannesburg.

“When I first gained proper consciousness in ICU, I asked my wife if I had crashed my car and she had to explain to me that I was shot at over 50 times. I have sought trauma counselling,” he said.

“The only thing I can maybe remember in the back of my mind is the burning of the bullets.”

Kotze returned to filming two months ago. “There is shrapnel in my lungs and chest from the main bullet that hit me in the back and broke apart. The shrapnel is causing me to cough up blood in the morning. If it gets worse, I may need surgery to remove up to half my left lung.”

He still has nerve damage and discomfort in his chest area.

“I want nothing to do with the case. I just hope they learnt their lesson and feel bad for shooting someone innocent,” Kotze said.
