No matter how many horrid videos you see of crimes in this country, some still have the ability to shock with their callousness.

The University of Limpopo is mourning the loss of Professor Mohamed Saber Tayob, murdered while out jogging yesterday morning.

Having joined the university in 2009, the 51-year-old chartered accountant was appointed the director of the school of accountancy in March 2020.

According to police spokesperson Brig Motlalefa Mojapelo, who spoke with TimesLIVE, Tayob was shot “several times” on Munnik Avenue in Polokwane.

Footage from a camera along the road shows a white VW Polo stopping next to Tayob, before a passenger gets out and opens fire on Tayob from point-blank range.

A number of social media users have said it’s obviously a ‘hit’, with one user adding, “We need to find out who he was auditing. The answer lies there.”

It’s hoped that the footage may help aid police find those responsible.

Warning – the footage is very graphic:
