Durban – The bodies of two South Coast men have been found badly burnt in a bakkie after a mob ambush near Scottburgh.
Simiso Hlongwa, 30, and Mduduzi Masinga, 33, of Bhakajane in the rural village of KwaCele, were driving with four men in a Nissan 1400 bakkie when they were ambushed by an armed mob on Saturday.
Four managed to escape.
“The two men were shot, placed in the rear of the bakkie and set alight,” police spokesman Colonel Jay Naicker said on Tuesday.
The attack occurred at about 1am. Two of the men who escaped had run to the Scottburgh police station where officers radioed the Dududu police at 3.20am to tell them of the attack, Naicker said.

“Police found the completely burnt bodies of the deceased lying in the rear bin of the bakkie.”
One of the survivors had sustained a chop wound to his head and was taken to hospital…
