A COMMUNITY leader from Bophelong in the Vaal was shot by an unknown gunman on Tuesday, 9 January.
Thabiso Maphike, who has been at the forefront of closing foreign-owned shops in the kasi, was then rushed to hospital after the shooting, where he is fighting for his life.
Following the incident, angry community members accused foreign nationals of shooting Maphike as he wanted all foreign-owned shops closed.
