Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Two women were shot dead on a bus en route to Zimbabwe from Tshwane on Thursday, police say.<\/p>\n

Spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said three men pretending to be passengers had boarded the Copperbelt Bus just after 01:00 on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“As it passed Mantsole weighbridge along the N1 road, one of the suspects allegedly produced a firearm and shot through the front windscreen, forcing the driver to pull over,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The other suspects shot three women, instantly killing two and critically injuring the other.”<\/p>\n

Mojapelo said the gunmen ordered all other passengers to disembark and lie on the ground.<\/p>\n

They were then robbed of their belongings, including cash, cellphones and passports.<\/p>\n

Mojapelo said:<\/p>\n

Cases of murder, attempted murder, and armed robbery have been opened.<\/p>\n

Limpopo police commissioner Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe ordered that the gunmen be hunted down and brought to book.<\/p>\n
