Prominent lawyer wanted for Zebediela farm shooting
Four farmworkers have been shot and wounded at the Zebediela Citrus Estate in Limpopo.
Provincial police spokesperson Moatshe Ngoepe says the wounded were allegedly shot by a prominent lawyer.
"The prominent lawyer is still at large. We are asking him to hand himself over," he says.
The motive for the shooting is unclear at this stage.
"One of the people is seriously injured."
Four counts of attempted murder have been opened for investigation.
A witness, who did not want to be named, says workers did not want the lawyer on the farm.
When asked to leave, the lawyer allegedly opened fire, he says.
"Workers were just asking him to leave. He walked out of the office where he was having a meeting with workers and randomly opened fire on workers. He knocked down the gates and fled."
Another witness says four people were injured and taken to hospital.
"The lawyer made himself managing director and was not even elected by anyone. He took decisions to give people inflated salaries."
