A man is his 50s was left seriously injured this afternoon after a shooting incident at a shopping centre on Samora Machel Road in Nelspruit.

ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene at approximately 12h00 after backup was requested by local authorities.

Upon arrival, a man was found lying on the pavement, surrounded by a number of onlookers and local authorities.

Paramedics assessed the man and found that he had sustained two gunshot wounds to his chest, leaving him in a critical condition.

The man was treated and provided with advanced life support interventions before he was transported to Rob Ferreira Hospital for urgent care.

It is understood that a woman who had apparently witnessed the incident collapsed in one of the shops. Paramedics were called to assist and treat the woman. Unfortunately, after some time the woman was declared dead.

Local authorities will be conducting a full investigation into the matter.
