Johannesburg - An ANC official in the Free State provincial government was shot dead at his house in Bloemfontein on Tuesday night, police said on Wednesday.
Inspector Harry Nagel said a car pulled into the drive-way of Noby Ngombane's house in Hillsboro in the city around 22:00 on Tuesday night.
Ngubane went outside to investigate and the occupants of the vehicle opened fire at him. He ran back to the house while they were shooting at him.
Nagel said he collapsed in the kitchen and was rushed to the Hydromed hospital where he died about an hour later as a result of his wounds.
The motive for the attack was not yet known.
Ngubane was the superintendent of the policy unit in the Free State premier's office.
