The 33-year-old administrative clerk at Cura Health Insurance, on Rubenstein Drive, was about an hour into her workday when she was killed, Rekord East reported.
The woman, whose identity is being withheld until her family is notified, was declared dead when paramedics arrived at the scene earlier today.
An eyewitness said the man arrived at the office on a motorcycle at about 9am. He apparently asked for the woman at reception, and when she walked down the staircase, he pulled out a firearm and shot her.
“We were too shocked to do anything,” the eyewitness said. The man fled on a green motorcycle.
It is believed the woman was shot three times by the man, whom she apparently kicked out of their apartment two weeks ago after he allegedly started to abuse her.
Garsfontein police spokesperson Dave Miller said the police were on the lookout for the killer. Investigations are ongoing.
