Captain Vishnu Naidoo said chief Dingindawo Shange and Boysy Shangase both aged 39, were found dead with bullet wounds at 5am near a river. He said the gunmen abducted both the men at their homes around 9pm on Saturday night.

Naidoo said the men forced the deceased to stand in the river before opening fire on them. They both sustained several shot wounds. The gunmen used 9mm calibre firearms.
