By Chanel September

Another Somali refugee has been gunned down in Cape Town brining the death toll of Somalis in the province to 27.

Police however continue to claim that the attacks are motivated by robbery and not xenophobia.

Mohammed Ahmed Hassan was shot dead on Friday by four armed men in Wesbank Mfuleni.

Police spokesperson Captain Randall Stoffels told Sunday Argus that Hassan had been visiting friends in the area and shot dead when he left.

Stoffels also added that the attacks started in Port Elizabeth and Plettenberg Bay and are now continuing in the Western Cape.
