a murder case has been registered.

victim was the wife of a taxi boss that was murdered in the same area, late
last year.
‘’We are very saddened by the incident… The woman that was
shot and killed - Her husband was also killed by the same modus operandi late
last year. Her husband was a taxi owner in Lwandle,’’ said Niklaas Thysen,
Strand CPF spokesperson.
‘’As we are the CPF, we are worried and concerned regarding
the sporadic incidents of shooting and murders in the area, especially taking
the lives of innocent people,’’ added Thysen.
