In what appears to be an ordered mob hit, five men entered a house at Ruretse Farm where they shot and killed a 62 year-old man and wounded his wife on Monday night.

The murder was reported to the Broadhurst Police Station at 4a.m. on Tuesday.
The motive of the murder has not been determined. "We have not established the motive of the murder," said Senior Superintendent Dipheko Motube of police public relations. He added that the police were also trying to establish whether anything was stolen from the house.
