A SECURITY guard tragically died while carrying out his duties to protect and serve on Sunday, 27 August, at about 7pm in Madombidzha zone 4.
Vincent Sivhada (34) from Ha-Madodonga Village in Limpopo was allegedly shot and killed by a group of thugs who fled with his company vehicle.
It was reported that the guard was on duty, driving a company-owned Nissan NP200 bearing registration FHW045L when the incident happened.
The cops and emergency services were alerted and upon arrival, they discovered the victim lying in a pool of blood.
The brother of the deceased, Melton Sivhada, told Daily Sun that Vincent had left home for work only to find him returning in a state of death.
"The pain we felt upon hearing of his passing was unbearable and coming to terms with the circumstances of his death has proven exceptionally difficult.
“He was a man who held deep affection for his wife, children, and family. We are hopeful that justice will be served, and those responsible for his untimely death will be held accountable,” he said.
