Uber Eats Driver Shot Dead at Durban KFC

A delivery partner for Uber Eats was this week shot dead while fetching an order at a Durban KFC.

The Burundian national reportedly got into an altercation at a KFC on Florida Road Tuesday evening according to police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbele.

Cedrick Musonera, 33, had arrived at the outlet to complete his order, when a customer waiting in line became upset.

“It is alleged that the victim had an argument with an unknown suspect who opened fire before fleeing the scene,” Mbele said.

Police found him with two gunshot wounds, and he later died in hospital.

“We are extremely saddened to hear a delivery-partner was killed this week. Our thoughts are with his friends and family, and we have been in contact with them to offer our condolences and support,” Uber Eats said in a statement.
