The mayor of Mpumalanga’s Mkhondo municipality, Vusi Motha, is still shaken after surviving a hit, presumably for his corruption-busting crusade in which he cancelled tender contracts worth more than R300m.

Mpumalanga police are still investigating the incident where a hail of bullets rained down on Motha’s vehicle about three weeks ago.

Motha escaped unscathed after at least 21 bullets pierced his vehicle.
