A man was reportedly shot multiple times in front of his family at the Birchwood Spur in Boksburg on Sunday afternoon.
Eyewitnesses report that two assailants allegedly shot the man (55) multiple times as he was getting out of his bakkie in the parking lot.
Kaiser says that patrons and the victim’s family were left in shock due to the violent nature of the incident.
"It was absolutely disgusting the scene; I've never seen anything like it."

He adds that, based on the branding on the victim’s vehicle, he was involved in the tourism sector as a tour operator.
Kaiser believes the attack was targeted, and that the family was followed from a shopping mall to the Spur.
"This was extremely well organised and clinically executed."
