The families of two of the four Gauteng crime prevention wardens who were ambushed by a gang carrying AK-47 assault rifles in Daveyton, Ekurhuleni, say their loved ones work under dangerous conditions without firearms to protect themselves.
Two relatives who spoke to Sowetan on Monday said the wardens had raised concerns about their working conditions.
The four wardens and their driver were sprayed with bullets on Sunday evening by a group of between 11 and 20 men dressed in black and with their faces covered.
