Wife of gunned-down traditional leader also shot dead

Gunmen in South Africa have killed the widow of a traditional leader, who was himself shot dead last month.

Police in Mpumulanga said Charlene Mathews was attacked inside her home early on Tuesday. Her husband, Clyde Mnisi, was expected to appear in court later this month to face charges of involvement in rhino poaching.

Others, including serving and former police – one of whom worked in Kruger national park – are due in court in connection with the alleged poaching.

Chief Mnisi was shot dead at the roadside by five gunmen wearing balaclavas. No one has been arrested.
