Police are yet to attribute motive to the murder.

Gallichan, 35, worked for mining giant Sibanye-Stillwater’s legal team and had arrived for a labour matter when she was gunned down.

The shooting happened at about 9am near the corner of Fox and Joubert streets in the Johannesburg CBD, close to the CCMA offices.

Gallichan, from Krugersdorp, was shot at close range while making her way to the CCMA.

According to eyewitness accounts, a male suspect approached Gallichan as she got out of her vehicle, shot her, and fled, apparently linking up with a getaway vehicle.
