About 16 people gunned down in separate Cape Town incidents
Four people shot dead in Khayelitsha and two others in Joe Slovo in Milnerton on Saturday.
Over the weekend, gun violence struck three informal communities in Cape Town, claiming at least 16 lives. In Khayelitsha, four individuals lost their lives in a separate attack on Saturday. The following day, a shisanyama premises in Lwandle, Strand, came under fire, leaving 21 people shot. Tragically, ten victims succumbed to their injuries, with the remaining eleven hospitalized.
Chwayita Bhuqa, chairperson of the Lwandle Community Policing Forum, expressed her shock and sorrow. She revealed that the business owner had been warned and the venue had been closed on Friday night. The venue was reportedly not allowed to sell or allow alcohol. Bhuqa questioned why the venue remained open on Sunday despite the previous closure. The community is deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence.
