JOHANNESBURG - Madibeng municipal manager Quiet Kgatla has survived an apparent assassination attempt.
He is in hospital after being shot multiple times on the R511 near Hartbeespoort.
Kgatla was on his way home when gunmen in a dark grey Volkswagen Polo approached his car.
They fired multiple shots into his vehicle before speeding away.
He sustained gunshot wounds to his arm and pelvis.
Kgatla made news when he was suspended last year for alleged financial misconduct in a housing contract.
The High Court later overturned his suspension as it had expired before any action was taken.
