Police battle to control Cape Flats gangs

Community leaders say the latest fatal shooting in Hanover Park on the Cape Flats is gang related. One man was shot dead and another seriously wounded on Thursday night after three men ambushed them outside a shop. Renewed violence between rival gangs has claimed the lives of at least eight people over the past few weeks. Before the latest incident, police said their pro-active work in Hanover Park had resulted in 13 arrests. Police Spokesperson Elliot Sinyangana says some of the suspects had already appeared in court, while others would be charged next week.
