KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Safety and Security Mr. Bheki Cele
will tomorrow (8/06/2004) had over R10 000 to the family of
seventeen-year-old Slindile Khuzwayo who was killed in a cross-fire

It is alleged that Slindile Khuzwayo, who was a grade 12 pupil at
Ganges High School, had just alighted from a bus in Umlazi when a bullet

middle of a car-chase and shoot-out between police and hijackers, which
had started in Jacobs, Durban.

that whoever is to blame for the killing will be punished. He also assured
the family that he would dig into his own pocket and contribute towards
the funeral costs.
All media are invited to accompany MEC Cele to the Khuzwayo family home
in W Section, Umlazi south of Durban at 8am tomorrow.
