Clive Hunter

Clive Hunter (1973 - 2008)

Brief overview:

Clive (35), was shot dead by robbers while he and his wife, Zelda (34), were fishing on Alkant beach in Richards Bay at 18h00 on 8th July 2008. The bullet pierced his lung and heart.

The couple was packing up to leave when four young males approached them from the bushes. Clive told Zelda that she must run into the sea when he gives her the signal. The men surrounded them from all sides and began speaking to them in English, then switched to Zulu. One of them pulled out a gun and Clive shouted to Zelda to run. She ran to the nearest pier about 300 metres away and spotted other anglers who walked back with her in the dark to the fishing spot and found Clive's body.
