A man believed to be in his forties is in a serious condition after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds during a shooting incident in Montclair, south of Durban.
According to Rescue Care's Garrith Jamieson, the incident occurred near the Shoprite Checkers on Kenyon Howden road on Thursday afternoon.
He said advanced life support paramedics had stabilised the man before rushing him to a nearby hospital for further treatment.
At least 20 bullet holes were visible in the driver's side door of the victim's double cab bakkie, Jamieson added.
