SOUTH AFRICAN RAPPER SHOT IN MIDRAND

Gauteng police were not able to confirm reports on Monday on whether South Rapper Khuli Chana was shot and injured by police officers.

Midrand police mentioned inquiries to the provincial police, who were not available to comment.

In a statement said “Police opened fire on Khuli Chana's vehicle with intent to kill --apparently mistaking him for a kidnapper in the early hours of this morning [Monday]... Khuli Chana is lucky to be alive after the excessive lethal force used”.

Chana’s real name Khulane Morule according to reports, he was alone at that time during the shooting.

The former Mahikeng resident got a message of support from North West Premier Thandi Modise wishing him a quick recovery.

“We hope that the circumstances surrounding the incident will be investigated. Chana is an inspiration to the people of the North West...he represents excellence in the field of the arts".
