Police search for two shooters responsible for a man being fatally shot at a restaurant in Rosebank.

According to provincial police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Selloman, “A man was sitting with two others at a restaurant at The Zone in Rosebank when two men wearing masks entered the restaurant and went straight to the victim, shooting him multiple times before fleeing the scene.”

A source told News24 that the man ordered food at Tasha’s restaurant and sat down to wait for the order when shooters approached him and shot him.

“Two men wearing masks alighted from a car and walked to Tashas.”

“I have been told that the deceased was waiting for his order when the gunmen arrived,” the source said.

The source added: I heard three gunshots. After shooting him, the gunmen walked away.

The identity of the deceased has not yet been released.

At the time, there were other patrons in the restaurant, and they ran for cover.

Another source claimed the gunmen ran and later walked to their getaway car on the other side of the mall.

“I thought they were customers from the mall. I didn’t see a gun in their possession as their hands were inside their jackets’ pockets,” he said.

The motive of the murder is unknown at this stage. A case of murder will be investigated
