Three ANC members were wounded when gunmen opened fire at random during a branch executive committee meeting in Welbedacht, near Chatsworth, in Durban, the party's KwaZulu-Natal branch said.

Provincial ANC spokesman Senzo Mkhize said branch chairman Mbuzeni Ximba, deputy branch chairman Sbu Mpanza and ward committee member Bulelani Njoli were shot on Wednesday night.

Colonel Vincent Mdunge confirmed the shooting, at Imbaliyethu High School, and said the motive was not known at this stage.

The men were in critical, but stable conditions in hospital. One of them was shot in the leg. It was not clear where the other two were wounded.
