Several shots were fired at her vehicle near the Blikkiesdorp informal settlement outside Grabouw.
Police said at around 14:00 multiple shots were fired at Mfubesiâs silver Toyota Rav 4 when it stopped at the Eskom crossing (on the corner of Ou Kaapse Weg and the N2) before turning right onto the highway, fatally wounding her. She died on the scene.
