“The suspect then walked away and got into a white Opel Astra and drove off. The victim was declared deceased on the scene by medical personnel,” said Van Wyk.
The motive behind the incident is under investigation.
Councillor Chantal Cerfontein said in a statement the building would be closed for the remainder of the day and advised tenants to vacate the building.
“The area is cordoned off and SAPS is continuing their investigation. It is, therefore, an active crime scene and staff and members of the public are requested to avoid the area in front of the building.”
“Operations at the Strand municipal building will commence again tomorrow, Tuesday January 9,” said Cerfontein.
