The brutal murders of three female managers at a Boxer Superstore in Eshowe continue to haunt those who refuse to look away. As of 15 October 2026, the former employee allegedly responsible remains at large, with police still hunting him for the triple murder that took place on Saturday, 10 October. CCTV footage circulating widely shows the chilling sequence: the man, dressed in black, entered the office where the three women were gathered, drew a firearm, and shot them repeatedly at close range. After emptying his weapon and the women falling, he reloaded with another magazine and continued firing before checking whether they were still alive and fleeing the scene. These were not faceless casualties of workplace tension. They were women, mothers, sisters, daughters, and colleagues. One of them, Thandiwe Chili, 54, from eSikhaleni near Empangeni, had given more than 20 years of her life to Boxer, including the last six at the Eshowe branch. Her brother, Khehla Chili, has spoken of the family’s devastation and the children and grandchildren who depended on her. The other two managers, reported as the store and bakery managers, left behind their own families and colleagues now carrying both grief and trauma. Boxer has expressed deep sadness, confirmed it is supporting the families and affected staff, and said teams across the country observed moments of remembrance. Police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda continues to urge the public to come forward with any information. Contact Eshowe police on 035-473-4211 or 082-557-6033, or Crime Stop on 08600-10111. What is deeply unsettling is the reaction from some quarters. Instead of outrage at the cold, calculated killing of three women, there are voices rationalising the violence or openly siding with the perpetrator. This is gender-based violence. When women are shot multiple times in their workplace by a man angry about a disciplinary outcome, the response should be universal condemnation and demand for justice, not excuses or celebration of the killer. The fact that so little compassion is being shown for the victims, while some root for the man who emptied a magazine into them and reloaded to finish the job, reveals a dangerous erosion of basic humanity. At JustAdvocacy we stand with the families of Thembeka, Lulama, and Thandiwe. We refuse to let their brutal murders be overshadowed by narratives that excuse violence against women. May their souls rest in peace. May their loved ones find strength. And may every person who still has a conscience demand that this suspect is found and that these three women receive the justice and dignity they deserve. #Ju#JustAdvocacys#EshoweShootingB#GBVu#JusticeForWomen
