Nkohli said a group of at least eight men, who were armed with rifles and handguns, opened fire to a group of community patrollers.
Nkohli said the four injured victims were rushed to the nearest hospital.
“It is said that the patrollers were at a local school and were preparing for their evening patrols when they were attacked. The suspects [unknown] are still at large and a motive for the shooting is unknown at this stage,” Nkohli said.
The provincial commissioner Lt-Gen Nomthetheleli Mene condemned the “senseless and brutal ambush of community patrollers”.
“We have mobilised maximum resources and we are concerned that those who are working and assisting the police are being targeted and attacked,” Mene said.
