A Crossroads woman who was standing outside her home was wounded during a shooting which left three men dead.
Another man was wounded and is still in hospital.
Bongiswa Sinyondo, 37, was shot while speaking to her berk outside her Stulo Street house on Saturday afternoon.
The deceased, Siviwe Siyo, 26, Maine Siko, 33, Siphelele Nyombolo, 26, and injured Mandisi Mofu were standing on the corner of Hani and Stulo Street when shooters in a white Toyota Quantum pulled up and opened fire on them.
Bongiswa says the first bullet hit her in the calf but she didn’t realise she had been shot until she tried to run.
“My boyfriend was about to leave, we were standing outside his car and my four-year-old daughter was also there. I told her to go inside the house,” she says.
“She had not even opened the door yet when I was shot and then there were many more shots.
“I tried to run into the yard and my leg felt numb and had pins and needles but I managed to move from the road into my kitchen and then I saw the blood on my dress and I knew that they shot me.”
The woman was thereafter rushed to KTC Day Hospital.
“I only heard when I came back that there was a Toyota Quantum shooting and that there were dead people,” she adds.
Siviwe’s brother said the shooting left the family traumatised.
He says they have no idea why his brother and his friends were targeted.
“I drove past him and his friends and minutes after, I was told that he had been shot and died on the spot,” he says.
“We can’t really say much about the incident.”
Police spokesperson Novela Potelwa says no one has been arrested.
“It is alleged that suspects in a minibus taxi fired several shots at four men standing on the corner of Situlo Street after 2pm,” she says.
“Three died on the scene while a fourth one sustained serious injury.
“A woman in her 30s, who was standing outside her home, was hit by a stray bullet during the shooting.
“The motive for the shooting is yet to be determined. No arrests have been made.”
