Well-known entrepreneur and owner of Fofo Security in Mhluzi, Foto Boy Makua (56), is currently under intensive care surveillance at a medical facility following grave injuries sustained in a brutal machete assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred on Monday night, between 9 and 10 in Mhluzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a reliable source, the perpetrators arrived in a VW Polo accompanied by a bakkie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A contentious exchange led to a physical altercation between Makua and the assailants, culminating in an assault with the panga and the theft of his firearm,” the source said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Subsequently, they left the scene with the Polo, leaving the bakkie behind.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makua has been admitted in intensive care unit for serious head and back injuries as a result of the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspects are still at large, and investigations are currently underway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
