Provincial police spokesperson Jay Naicker says a group of unknown men opened fire at people who were at the tuck shop.


Six men aged between 30 and 65-years old were killed at the scene.


A seventh victim who sustained gunshot wounds died in hospital on Sunday morning. 


"Initial investigations revealed that three of the deceased were the tuckshop owner as well as his two sons and one of the deceased, who was waiting at the tuckshop to see a traditional healer, might have been the actual target of the hit," Naicker says.


"KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has mobilised all available police resources to hunt down the perpetrators.”
