Johannesburg - The daughter of a long-time gun control activist was shot and wounded during an attempted hijacking in Johannesburg, the International Action Network on Small Arms said on Friday.
Joseph Dube's daughter Ntombifuthi Mbatha was shot in the back by one of two armed men outside her home on Tuesday.
"The bullet lodged next to her spinal column, requiring four hours of neurosurgery to remove it. Ntombi remains in a critical condition in hospital," the organisation said in a statement.
The Dube family had just returned from a funeral when the incident happened.
The organisation sent its sympathy to the Dube family and wished Ntombi a speedy recovery.
