A 40 year-old man died in hospital after he was shot while travelling to Mooikloof.

According to ANCYL member in North West, Thabo Arafat Molamu said that Wandile Bozwana assassinated.

Molamu wrote on his personal Facebook page account confirming the death of Bozwana on Friday.

It is alleged that Bozwana who was a business owner and his colleague, were taken to local hospital under critical condition following a shooting in Pretoria on Friday.

The shooting is believed to be a hit, but a motive is not yet known.

The shooting occurred just before 16:00.

According to www.news24.com, police said Wandile Bozwana, who owned energy drinking company Orgazma Special Energy Drink, was travelling on the N1 north from Johannesburg with his colleague Mpho Baloyi in the driver’s seat.

A silver grey BMW M3 allegedly pulled next to their car near the Garsfontein off-ramp.

According to police, the suspects in the car started shooting at the branded yellow Renault Clio.

About 12 bullets hit the car with nine of them hitting Bozwana, five in the lower back.

Baloyi was shot twice, but managed to drive to a car dealership near Menlyn Shopping Centre to seek help.

Police spokesperson sergeant Asnath Malatji told www.news24.com that the pair was coming from Sandton heading to Mooikloof.

She said they were investigating an attempted murder case.

“At this stage, we don’t know the motive, but are appealing to people who might have seen the incident to come forward with information to ensure the suspects are arrested,” she added.

The bullet-riddled car was still being combed for evidence more than an hour after the incident. The pair was taken to Unitas hospital where Bozwana later died according to unconfirmed reports.

The scene attracted several bystanders.

Motorists on the N1 at the time of the incident called EWN radio station and said they had seen one person jumping out of the car and opening fire at the other vehicle. The BMW then sped off. No arrests have been made.

Bozwana was recently in logger heads with North West Provincial Government over money owed to him, and he took them to court.
