Second guy to be attacked while out fishing, according to recent news. The other was a retired man from Mbombela, if I recall correctly, who was killed fishing close to his home, despite carrying his pistol with him, according to his wife.
Can't find the news report now, but it was on Netwerk24 during the week.
Looks like people are being targeted for their firearms, like in the video about the traffic officer in Cape Town engaging in a fire fight with a gunman while writing out a ticket.

RIP officer.
The barbarians will get bolder as the economy deteriorates.
Sad, very sad.

Don't know if they are targeted for their firearms. They are probably targeted as they are alone and perceived to be vulnerable, look at the attack on Sean Murphy. He was also out fishing. Only difference is he was probably mentally prepared and then acted decisively.

Some reports say stabbed with casings found on the scene, others say shot dead and stabbed.
