An Umlazi woman in the Durban area whose son was shot and killed says the ease of getting illegal firearms is exacerbating the crime levels in communities.
Zombuso Ngcobos son Mongameli was shot dead by unknown suspects at their home.
In recent weeks, KwaZulu-Natal has suffered a spate of robberies, cash-in-transit heists and shootouts with police.
Ngcobo says she is also afraid to report incidents of crime.
It is hard to complain about these things as we are afraid for our lives. The crime is like the game in our days and we are now teaching our kids to be home as early as possible and we have to inform our loved ones about their whereabouts as anything can happen.
