Durban – Two men were shot and killed in what appears to be a drive-by shooting near a motor licencing office in Umbilo, south of Durban.
It’s understood that the two men who were travelling in a vehicle on Umbilo Road near the licence office were met with heavy gunfire from suspects in another car.
ECR Newswatch arrived on scene to find a huge police contingency and a large crowd of onlookers watch the bullet-ridden Toyota Corolla in the middle of the road.
