Six women have been killed in a shooting in Ladysmith in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).
Newly-sworn in KZN Premier Thami Ntuli revealed the news during his inauguration speech in Pietermaritzburg on Tuesday.
Ntuli said crime-fighting was high on his agenda and he would therefore absorb the Department of Community Safety and Liaison into his office.
The six women were killed on Monday.
Ntuli explained: “Eleven women were travelling in one vehicle from a certain function in Ladysmith and someone came, driving a car, and shot at all of them. Six died on the spot.”
He further revealed his plans to combat crime in the province.
“As a result, I have decided to place Community Safety and Liaison in the Office of the Premier so that I will lead the agenda in fighting crime.”
Ntuli announced his cabinet which includes four Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) members, three African National Congress (ANC) members, two Democratic Alliance (DA) members, and one member of the National Freedom Party (NFP).
