Three men were left injured in a suspected gang related shooting, last week. The incident occurred in Maartblom Street. Shooting incidents were also reported in Papierblom field and Salvia, as well as in Rooikrans street.

Ward councillor, Avron Plaatjies called on the Western Cape police Commissioner, Thembisile Patekile, to urgently bolster Lentegeur Police Station with more policing resources to prevent further escalations of violence.

Had a meeting with @SAPoliceService Lentegeur and CPF. The flare up of gang violence and blatant shootings cannot continue.

I have written to @ParliamentofRSA @IanCameron23 to convene a Portfolio committee in Mitchell’s Plain on gang violence as it affects many communities. pic.twitter.com/0UoRh4DNcp
