During the search 14 suspect’s members of the gangs Chicanos and Olifistas were arrested eight belong to Olifistas and six to the Chicanos. They were arrested on two murder charges that happened on the 8 and 10 of September.

“On Monday the 10 September 2007 there was a teenager that was attacked by a group of young males that is home at Zone 27, Langa,” says South African Police Service Captain Elliot Sinyangana.

During their investigation they have established that the attack was a revenge attack on another murder that apparently happened on Saturday the 8 September.

“They will all appear on Monday 17 September on the charges of murder,” says Sinyangana.

A group of males visited Thando Badula’s home as if they were friends and attacked and left him unconscious. Apparently the father took his son to the day Hospital for medical attention and he was declared dead.

“We are aware that there are still a few of them outstanding and our investigation is continuing in that regard,” says Sinyangana.
