This is wild. Utterly, utterly wild. CCTV has captured the jaw-dropping moment a group of armed gangsters attempted to execute a hit on a member of the Teddy Mafia family in Shallcross, KZN.
Mafia was brutally murdered by his enemies at the start of the year, and the alleged gang boss and drugs kingpin has left behind a mountain of baggage for the… ‘family business’. Despite being dead for over nine months, figures in the criminal underworld are still targeting the relatives of Teddy – whose real name was Yaganathan Pillay.
Here’s what we have had confirmed so far:

Video footage of the apparent hit is, for the lack of a better word, insane. As the gang approaches their target, all of them draw their weapons, and it looks like a bloody death is now a formality for the people inside the vehicle.
After the first shot is fired, the driver pulls off some instinctive maneuvers to get out of harm’s way – almost running down one of the suspected hitmen. The car, containing Teddy Mafia’s son-in-law, then speeds away into the distance.
