Labour Law Attorney Murdered Outside CCMA Offices in Johannesburg. Johannesburg :
A 35-year-old attorney, Chinette Gallichan from Krugersdorp, was fatally shot on Monday morning outside the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration offices located at the intersection of Fox and Joubert streets in the Johannesburg Central Business District.
The incident occurred at approximately 09H00, while Gallichan was arriving for a matter at the CCMA. At the time of the shooting, she worked in the labour litigation department of Sibanye-Stillwater.
According to eyewitnesses, Gallichan was representing a mining company in a dispute involving workers who had allegedly been retrenched and were seeking payout compensation. Witnesses reported that a male suspect approached her as she exited her vehicle and shot her at close range.
The suspect then fled the scene on foot before escaping in a waiting getaway vehicle. Initial reports from the scene suggest the incident may have been a targeted hit, as none of the victim’s belongings were stolen.
