Western Cape’s Police Oversight & Community Safety MEC, Reagen Allen says he’s livid at the latest shooting incidents that occurred in Khayelitsha and Manenberg.
On Sunday evening in Ekuphumleni, in Khayelitsha, 3 members
of a family were fatally shot in their home. In Manenberg, yesterday, there
were attempts to shoot and kill 5 people.
‘’I am extremely angry at the latest shooting incidents
that occurred in Khayelitsha and Manenberg. I want these perpetrators found and
arrested speedily. This terror has no place in our society and must be brought
to an end.’’
‘’Khayelitsha has been plagued by severe shooting incidents
and this cannot be allowed to continue unabated. The flare ups of gang related
shootings in Manenberg are of deep concern and must also immediately stop,’’ he
added.
Allen has called on SAPS to leave no stone unturned and
want the perpetrators to be found and arrested speedily.
‘’Every bit of crime intelligence and investigation ability
should be employed to find and arrest these criminals. My plea to the community
is to assist SAPS and law enforcement by providing any leads they might have so
that these perpetrators can be arrested. We must ensure they face the full
might of the law.’’
‘’The days of gangsters running around like they own the
place and terrorising our residents are over. I want residents not to lose
hope, as I will continue to advocate that the National Government provide the
additional policing resources that we so greatly need and deserve,’’ added
Allen.
