KwaZulu-Natal police killed three men in a shootout in Eshowe on Human Rights Day, stopping them from carrying out a suspected hit.
"Police officers from the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Stabilisation Team were acting on intelligence about the suspects who were carrying firearms and were believed to be on their way to execute an assassination.
"The suspects were intercepted near King Dinizulu, and police officers signalled for the suspects' vehicle to stop. The suspects sped off, and a high-speed chase ensued," police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said.
