Zimbabwean Star Defender Divine Lunga Survives Gun Attack in Johannesburg
Zimbabwe international and Mamelodi Sundowns defender Divine Lunga escaped unharmed after gunmen opened fire on his car in Hillbrow, Johannesburg on Sunday, July 5, 2026. The 31-year-old was driving with his younger brother on their way to church when an unknown attacker reportedly mistook him for an undercover officer. South African police have launched an attempted murder investigation but say no arrests have been made so far. Crime remains a serious challenge in Johannesburg, which has one of the world’s highest murder rates. Lunga has earned 21 caps for the Warriors and was part of Zimbabwe’s squad in the recent World Cup qualifiers. Since joining Mamelodi Sundowns in 2021, he has helped the club secure four league titles and a second African Champions League trophy.
