Police are looking for a man who allegedly gunned down his ex-girlfriend in front of her son before fleeing the scene in Lawley, south of Joburg.
The suspect, identified as 34-year-old Sandile Ngema, is accused of killing Noxolo Momo Masinga, 27, and attempting to kill another former partner, Nelly Machequete, 32, on Friday night, September 26.
According to relatives, Masinga was at her home in Kokotela when Ngema arrived. He allegedly spoke to her calmly at the doorstep before walking with her to an outside tap where she was rinsing a mop. Masinga's 11-year-old son noticed that Ngema had a gun tucked in his waist and warned his mother to be careful. Moments later, Ngema allegedly shot Masinga once in the head in full view of the boy.
