More gang attacks in Hanover Park

A 28-year-old man was wounded in a drive-by shooting in Hanover Park on the Cape Flats last night, despite increased policing in the area after the renewed eruption of gang violence over the past few weeks. At least eight people have been killed in the area recently. Police spokesperson Billy Jones says last night’s victim was wounded in the stomach when people drove by in a Jeep and opened fire on him. He is in a serious, but stable condition in hospital. Jones confirmed that they suspect the attack is gang-related, but says they are investigating all possibilities.
