Inkosi was a leader of Mbokodwebomvu traditional council from Nquthu northern KZN.
Their car was ambushed by unknown gunmen who sprayed the 4x4 with hail of bullets killing both instantly.
Sources in Nquthu told Daily Sun today that the inkosi may have not been the target of the attack and that Moses was a well know taxi boss in the area.

He has called upon law enforcement agencies to leave no stone unturned in the search for the perpetrators of this act of cowardice.
