POLICE are probing the fatal shooting of former Stellenbosch Deputy Mayor Nyaniso Jindela, who was gunned down outside a church in Kayamandi on Monday night.

According to police spokesperson Sergeant Wesley Twigg, the 59-year-old was shot in the neck while standing outside a church on Vineyard Street.

Emergency services responded to the scene, but Jindela succumbed to his injuries before medical assistance could be rendered.

His death comes just over a month after DA Councillor Xolile Kalipa was gunned on 4 May in Swartz Street in the same area.
