UMLAZI police are investigating an attempted murder case following the shooting of Max’s Lifestyle owner, Max Mqadi.
Police have also launched a manhunt for two men who allegedly shot and wounded Mqadi four times on Thursday night, as he was getting into his car after closing the popular shisanyama in uMlazi, south of Durban.
Mbele said that Mqadi was approached by two men who fired shots at him. Mqadi was wounded but managed to drive to the popular restaurant hub in Florida Road in Morningside where he sought help and was rushed to Umhlanga Hospital.
Mqadi’s life was saved by his iPhone12 which stopped one of the bullets from piercing into his head.
