 Makhuva Sangoma Shot Dead in Ka Nwakhuwani Village


 An 80-year-old elderly man, known in the community as a traditional healer (sangoma), was shot and killed at Ka Nwakhuwani village outside Giyani.


 The incident occurred on Saturday night, 13 December 2025. The deceased originally resided in Makhuva village but later relocated due to past community tensions.


 About ten years ago, a young man in Makhuva village died after being struck by lightning, and some community members accused the sangoma of being responsible. Following the accusations, he left Makhuva village and settled in Ka Nwakhuwani.


 On the night of the incident, an unknown man visited the victim’s home, claiming to be a police sergeant. The victim reportedly came out of his house to attend to the visitor. The suspect then allegedly shot the elderly man outside his yard. The victim was declared dead at the scene.


 The motive for the shooting remains unknown, and the suspect fled the scene. Police have opened a murder case and investigations are ongoing.
