Clients of 40-year-old trainer Lawrence Masinge watched on in horror as he was shot and killed during a live Zoom session on Wednesday night.

During the virtual workout class, a man wearing grey pants and a white shirt with a black windbreaker can be seen entering the frame and firing at Masinge.

Horrified onlookers, some of whom are filming their screens, can be heard shouting for help.

We won’t publish the video, but it’s out there on social media if you are so inclined.

Some images were also shared on social media:

The shooting took place in Saulsville, Tshwane, at around 7:20PM.

This from IOL:

Police said Masinge died at the scene.

Gauteng SAPS spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Mavela Masondo, said the motive for the killing cannot be confirmed at this stage.

Masondo also asked anybody who might have information to call the nearest police station or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

Information can also be sent anonymously via the MySAPS app.

Clients who were on the call have spoken with EWN:

Mpho Magwaza, based in the UK, was participating in the virtual cardio session when Masinge was shot dead.

“Immediately when this person stepped in, I was aware something was not right and I watched him fire two shots and I couldn’t sleep the whole night.”

She explains that the gunman seemed comfortable and lingered after the shooting waiting for Masinge to die.

“This guy did not feel any pity, he just killed him in the most cold way.”

Other clients are said to be seeking counselling in order to deal with the trauma of what they witnessed.
