The Western

information regarding the Intercape violent attack in Strand.

this violent crime must face the full might of the law.

will support all efforts to bring these criminals to book. Such acts undermine
the provision of reliable public transport and threaten the safety of
commuters. We send our condolences to the family and friends of those who have
lost their lives in the attack, and we wish the injured a speedy recovery.
We
trust that the police will continue to conduct a thorough investigation into
what happened,” La Hoe said.

Hoe concluded by saying that the motive for the attack was not yet clear.
