Zimbabwe Warriors defender Divine Lunga escaped unharmed after he was caught up in a shooting incident in Johannesburg, South Africa.

According to Kaya FM, the Mamelodi Sundowns left-back became involved after attempting to assist a man who claimed he had been robbed of approximately R34,000. The incident reportedly took place in Hillbrow, Johannesburg.

Lunga and his companions allegedly followed a vehicle identified by the complainant before occupants of the suspected vehicle opened fire on the defender’s blue BMW.

At least one bullet struck the vehicle, but the Zimbabwe international was not injured in the attack, although he was reportedly left badly shaken by the ordeal.

Police in Gauteng have since opened an attempted murder case and launched an investigation into the shooting. No arrests had been made at the time of writing, with investigations continuing.
