Johannesburg - A man is in a critical condition following a shooting on William Nicol Drive, Fourways, Johannesburg paramedics said on Thursday.
The man's assailants fired shots at his Isuzu bakkie while he was stopped at an intersection near a minibus taxi rank shortly after 21:00 on Wednesday, Netcare 911 spokesperson Nick Dollman said.
"The victim's vehicle had many bullet holes in it, with more than 10 holes in the driver's-side door alone."
