Assassination of magistrate condemned

The Public Servants Association of SA has condemned the killing of Magistrate Victor Mabunda in a shooting incident outside his house last week. A report on the IoL site says Mabunda – of the Cullinan Magistrate's Court – was shot four times by unknown assailants in the driveway of his Bronkhorspruit residence, east of Pretoria, on Wednesday night. He was declared dead on the scene and nothing was taken from him. ‘The PSA is dismayed that the life of a person tasked with upholding justice has to end in such a way. The union calls upon the SAPS to thoroughly investigate this case and to speedily arrest the perpetrators,’ said the PSA’s Ivan Fredericks.
