Suspect in court for allegedly shooting Member of Parliament


A suspect who allegedly shot and injured a Member of Parliament is expected to appear in the Randburg Magistrates Court on Thursday.

The 27-year-old man was arrested during a joint intelligence-driven operation on Tuesday.

He is facing charges of armed robbery and attempted murder after a Member of Parliament was shot at a residential estate in Dainfern on the 7th of January.

The 59-year-old DA MP Cameron Mackenzie was shot in the arm whilst suspects attempted to rob him of his luxury wrist-watch.

Spokesperson Brigadier Mathapelo Peters says the suspect in custody is also linked to other cases.

He says more arrests are possible.
