After an alleged gang leader was killed in a shooting incident in Bonteheuwel over the weekend, community members were concerned that the shooting would reignite gang violence.
“Preliminary indications suggest that the shooting is gang-related and police investigators are pursuing several leads. Police in the Western Cape continue to monitor several crime hotspots including the area where the shooting incident occurred in an effort to ensure safety in the various communities,” said Potelwa.
McKenzie said this incident reaffirmed the community’s need for their own police station, which he has been urging for years.
