Image: Nomonde Zondi The advocate had come to Durban on behalf of SARS for the tax inquiry concerning the tax affairs of Andile Mpisane and 13 others. Mpisane is the son of Durban's controversial businesswoman Shauwn 'MaMkhize' Mkhize. The pair was arrested in December last year in Cape Town, and they are currently in custody after the Durban Magistrate's Court denied them bail. During their bail application, the investigating Warrant Officer Praved Maharaj said the attempted murder of Naudé was carried out brazenly, and the men used no form of disguise. He said the duo had no consideration for the public. 'There was a security guard present when the shooting occurred, and he had to flee for his life,' Maharaj said. According to the police officer, the State has a prima facie case against the duo. Maharaj said that in 2016, Mbulwana was convicted of assault and is currently facing charges of unlawful firearm possession. Additionally, Runeyi is said to have a warrant of arrest for two cases, one for theft of a motor vehicle and one for possession of a stolen motor vehicle.
