"According to information received, the businessman had just arrived at a coffee shop in the Rustenburg CBD when the suspects shot him several times, then fled the scene with a blue Volkswagen Polo vehicle.


"The getaway car was later found abandoned at the corner of Helen Joseph and Lourie streets," says police spokesperson Sabata Mokgwabone.


Police have urged members of the public to refrain from sharing pictures and videos of the alleged suspects.


"We would like to urge members of the community who are using various social media platforms to share pictures and video clips purported to be those of the suspects, to refrain from doing that as this has the potential to jeopardize the investigation. The motive of the incident is yet to be determined as no arrests have been made so far.:


Investigations are ongoing.
