Ntuli was speaking at the crime scene where eight people were shot and killed at the Zamani Transit Camp in Umlazi Township. The victims were inside a dwelling at the camp, when an unknown number of suspects entered and opened fire on them, killing all everyone inside. Ntuli says the fight against crime requires community involvement.

“It's a very unfortunate incident which is an indication that the issue of illegal ammunition and guns are all over. We need to aggressively address this issue but that cannot be done only by the police. The community themselves need to participate and take action.  As provincial government, we need to try and do more on encouraging community to join community policing because we can only end this kind of crime when the members of the society play their role to report to the police,” Ntuli said.
