Police are urging the public to assist them in their investigation into a murder incident which took place on Saturday evening in Site C DT 876 in Khayelitsha.

“It is alleged that the victim and his friend parked their vehicle outside his residence at approximately 19:25.’’

Captain Anneke van der Vyver says his friend ran to another house not far from there to collect something he needed. Whilst the 52 year old victim, known as Vambu Zakuthini, was busy entering his house, two unknown men walked up to him and fired several shots towards him, fatally wounding him in the process.

The suspects fled the scene in the victim’s vehicle, a white coloured Toyota Tazz, says Captain Van der Vyver.

Anyone with information regarding the incident or who can assist the police in tracking the suspects or vehicle is requested to contact the investigating officer, Constable Sakhiwo Mteyise on 079 880 9858 or on 021 360 2340 during office hours.
