JOHANNESBURG - Police in KwaZulu-Natal have arrested two suspects linked to the attempted murder of advocate Coreth Naudé.
Naudé was shot multiple times at the entrance of a hotel in Umhlanga, north of Durban in July.
The senior advocate has been involved in several high-profile cases, including the tax investigation into the affairs of controversial businesswoman, Shauwn Mkhize.
The South African Revenue Service and Mkhize have been at loggerheads over the past decade over her business affairs.

"On the day, Advocate Naude was driving into the hotel when she was ambushed by two armed men who opened fire at her. The advocate managed to drive inside the hotel where she received emergency medical attention before she was rushed to hospital. The suspects fled from the scene in a silver Toyota Corolla," said KZN police spokesperson, Robert Netshiunda.
