The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) says it is probing the circumstances surrounding the death of a 33-year-old woman in Lamontville, KwaZulu-Natal, on Thursday.
A local publication reported earlier that the woman is believed to have been shot during an exchange of fire between police and gunmen.
Police had descended on Madlala informal settlement to search for goods looted during the recent wave of unrest in the province.
According to IPID, residents allegedly then mobilized and blocked exit points with stones, cut the tyres of a police vehicle, and attacked officers.
“The police allegedly fired warning shots and the woman was later found dead behind one of the shacks, metres away from the road where the police were stationed with [a] gunshot wound in her body,” the directorate said.
IPID added that investigations around what happened were continuing.
