According to Daily Sun SA, Ayanda Cele (31) from Lindelani, north of Durban, was shot on Saturday.
The suspect claims he had no idea what he was doing until he saw Ayanda bleeding. However, Ayanda’s shocked family is not buying the story.
They believe the man knew exactly what he was doing and said he must stop making excuses.
Ayanda’s aunt, Nombulelo Cele (45), said: “The suspect lives next door. We’ve known each other for years.
“He never argued with Ayanda. The two didn’t have any grudges that we knew of.
“I was told the suspect arrived while Ayanda was preparing for work.
He knocked at his door and Ayanda let him in without any fear.”
Nombulelo claims the suspect didn’t say anything and shot her nephew as soon as he opened the door.
“Ayanda was rushed to hospital, but succumbed to his injuries the following day.
“We were hoping he would survive so he could tell us what led to his shooting,” she said.
A police officer said: “The suspect was sent to a mental health institution for evaluation.”
KZN police spokesman Captain Nqobile Gwala said: “A 30-year-old man was arrested after the shooting.
“He is expected to appear in the Ntuzuma Magistrates Court soon.”
