INJURIES AT MADIBA AWARD

A WOMAN was shot and wounded in Durban on Friday, apparently by a reveller on his way to witness President Nelson Mandela receive the freedom of the city. KwaZulu-Natal police spokesman Director Bala Naidoo said the shot accidentally discharged when a man put a firearm into his pocket. The bullet ricocheted and caused the injury. An attempted murder charge is being investigated.
