Three men were shot and killed in Mfuleni, in the early hours of Monday.
The police’s Andrè Traut said the incident occurred at
around 02:40 in Government Street, Bardale.
‘’One of the victims is a 31 year old man while the other two are yet to be identified. It is believed that the victims were attacked by unknown assailants who opened fire at them with assault rifles,’’ said Colonel Andrè Traut.
He said the motive of the attack is under investigation.
Meanwhile four men were gunned down in Albertina Sisulu
Drive, Makhaya, Khayelitsha, over the weekend.
“The Serious and
Violent Crimes (SVC) detectives are probing an incident that claimed the lives
of four men aged between 30 and 40 in Albertina Sisulu Drive, Makhaya on
Saturday night at around 7.50pm, when they were shot and killed by unknown
suspects,’’ said Colonel Andrè Traut.
“Two other men were also injured during the same incident
and are being treated in hospital. The suspects fled the scene and are being
pursued by police. The motive for the multiple murder case is yet to be determined,’’
he added.
Western Cape Police Oversight and Community Safety MEC,
Reagen Allen, described the mass murders as ‘horrific’.
‘’SAPS’ intelligence to prevent these incidents from occurring
must be sharpened. We cannot have these recurring in ANY of our areas. It is
extremely important that the supply line that the easy access to weapons is
immediately interrupted and stopped. Along with the relevant and weapon
charges, those supplying firearms and ammunition should also be charged with
the one pulling the trigger. The suppliers are showing too they don’t have any
regard to life.
Allen reminded citizens of the up to R5 000 reward to report the whereabouts of any illegal firearms.
