MEC Chiloane is saddened by the fatal shooting of Siza Mbhalati, one of the Deputy Chief Education Specialists who was gunned down in his driveway at his home in Protea Glen, Soweto on Thursday.
The 52-year-old Mbhalati worked for the Labour Relations Unit in Joburg South District and was responsible for facilitating labour-related disputes at schools in the District.
“Information at our disposal suggests that Mr Mbhalati was allegedly followed home from work on Thursday afternoon by unknown suspects, who then shot him about 8 times in his driveway while he was still in his car,” Chiloane said.
“We are saddened by the unfortunate death of one of our dedicated public servants who served the department with honour and dignity. On behalf of the department, we wish to extend our sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones.”
“In the same breath, we condemn this level of lawlessness and call for the speedy apprehension of these brazen criminals,” said MEC Chiloane.
