It was a bloody Youth Day on the Cape Flats as three people were shot dead and two others injured in Lentegeur, Mitchells Plain, on Friday.
Western Cape police spokesperson Brigadier Novela Potelwa said reports indicated that the gunmen had entered a house in Poppy Street, Lentegeur, and fired multiple shots."Two teenagers aged 15 and 18 suffered multiple gunshot wounds and were transported to a medical facility. The suspects subsequently fled the scene," said Potelwa.
"Normally, we'd have lots of isolated incidents, but this is the first we had where five people were shot at. We condemn these killings to the highest level. "But this is why we have requested that law enforcement join forces with police to combat the gangsterism and crime in the area."12-year-old Jaan Fourie wanted to sing in Cape Town.

The three men, whose ages are yet to be determined, were meat vendors, and the possibility that the murders were related to their trade could not be ruled out, said Western Cape police spokesperson Colonel Andre Traut.
