KZN Family Grieves Another Loss After Losing 7 Members to Gun Violence

The KwaZulu-Natal family that lost seven members after gunmen attacked them at their Hlokozi home last week has lost another member.

The Khambule family is on Saturday holding a mass funeral for six of the seven killed.

This includes three children and three women, while one other person was buried during the week.

With the funeral service underway, another family member has died.

As thousands of mourners braved the rain to join the Khambule family in bidding farewell to their loved ones, tragedy struck again.

An elderly family member had to be taken away by an ambulance as she required medical care during the funeral. Hours later, the publication learnt of her tragic passing.

KwaZulu-Natal acting Premier Thembeni Kamadlopha Mthethwa has also confirmed this to the publication.

Mthethwa said they want the police to speed up the process of arresting the gunmen who killed the seven members.

“What we are looking at is that they must be arrested.”

It is still unclear what the cause of death was for the eighth person, but medics were called as she could not stop crying at the funeral.
