Molosi, a ANC ward councillor, was gunned down late last night (Monday 23 July), just metres from his home in Concordia, Knysna.
Preliminary investigation indicates that Molosi was on his way home from a School Governing Body meeting at about 22:00 when a gunman approached him. The suspect fired several shots at the victim. Molosi sustained a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to hospital in a private vehicle, where he was declared dead on arrival.

Molosi was the Ward Councillor for Ward 8, Concordia and Joodse Kamp.
Executive Mayor Mark Willemse said they are devastated by the loss of a colleague who selflessly served Greater Knysna with pride and dignity.
“We are privileged to have known and worked with Victor. He was a passionate contributor in council debates, advocating strongly on behalf of his Party and the community he served. Our thoughts go out to his wife and his children. May his soul rest in peace."
