Kitlano Leeuw, 17, was fatally shot through the head during protests in Taung, North West. Anna Leeuw, 50, was hit in the lower back moments after a suspected police live round shattered her son Kitlano’s head, killing him, as violent protests demanding the resignation of North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo escalated throughout the province on Tuesday. “We were all curious to see what was happening, so we walked along with the protesters near the bridge. On Tuesday the country’s biggest public sector trade union, Nehawu, announced its plans to move its secretariat to North West as from tomorrow to work with other organisations in the push for Mahumapelo’s removal. The ANC’s Hlomane Chauke said: “Everything around the Guptas is made or starts in North West."
