A security guard who got into a physical altercation with a bystander who was trying to use the ATM at the Jabulani Mall in Soweto to load money has been detained following the discharge of a fatal shot that killed the bystander.
Tuesday was the day of the incident.
In connection with a murder charge, the 44-year-old security guard is scheduled to appear in court in Palm Ridge.
