RIP|| They Were Found Shot Dead After a Man Who Reportedly Lost His Job Opened Fire On Them

A quiet Saturday at a Boxer Superstore in Eshowe, KwaZulu-Natal, ended in tragedy on 10 October 2026 when three female managers were allegedly shot dead by a former employee during an internal disciplinary process.

According to the South African Police Service, the man had returned to the supermarket for a disciplinary hearing. At some point during the proceedings, he allegedly produced a firearm and opened fire on three people. All three victims were declared dead at the scene.

Subsequent reports identified the women’s positions as store manager, bakery manager and administration manager. Their deaths have transformed what should have been an ordinary workplace procedure into a devastating criminal investigation.

Reports suggest the meeting involved an employment dispute and that the man had been informed of his dismissal. However, the precise sequence of events and his alleged motive have not been conclusively established by investigators.

Police in KwaZulu-Natal launched a manhunt for the suspect, who reportedly fled after the shooting. Investigators are working to establish exactly what happened inside the store.

The killing of three women at their workplace has raised painful questions about safety in spaces where employees should be able to carry out their duties without fear of violence.

A disciplinary hearing may involve disagreement and intense emotions, but no employment dispute can justify taking another person’s life.

For colleagues, the shock is particularly difficult. Workers who expected a routine shift must now confront the loss of three members of their management team.

Beyond the store, families and loved ones are left facing grief that cannot be measured by the number of lives lost alone. Each victim was a person with relationships, responsibilities and a future suddenly cut short.

The tragedy also comes amid wider concern about violence against women in South Africa. Researchers and public authorities have repeatedly warned that women face a serious risk of fatal violence, underscoring the need for prevention, effective policing and accountability.

This incident is still being investigated, and it should not be assumed that every detail circulating online has been verified.

As police continue their search, the hope is that the full circumstances will be established through evidence and that the victims’ families will receive answers.

For now, Eshowe is mourning three women who went to work and never returned home.
