THE chairman of the Inkatha Freedom Party in Tin Town, Inchanga, and four family members were killed in an ambush in the area on Thursday night. IFP spokesman Velaphi Ndlovu said the ambush was the result of a division within the Tin Town branch on how to deal with the problem of youngsters involved in crime. The five men were killed and another injured in the ambush between Durban and Pietermartizburg. Police spokesman Superintendent Henry Budhram said the six men were travelling on the Fredville Road at 8pm when gunmen forced them off the road and opened fire on their car. Police found 17 used cartridges – including R1, shotgun and AK-47 catridges – at the scene of the attack.
