Sunday’s tragedy in which seven people were killed also left seven people injured, including a 6-year-old.This emerged during a visit to Khayelitsha’s Site B on Tuesday after seven people were killed in a mass shooting at a house understood to be selling liquor without a licence.Cele condemned the “heinous crime”, which occurred during the Western Cape’s Operation Lockdown, an intervention to stabilise crime in the province.
“Minister Cele has subsequently urged the multi-disciplinary investigating team to work around the clock and ensure that all suspects are apprehended given the preliminary evidence suggesting that there was more than one suspect,” acting national SAPS spokesperson Brigadier Mathapelo Peters said. Meanwhile, police management did not appear before the Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs in parliament on Tuesday as expected, where Cape Town’s refugee sit-in was discussed.The City of Cape Town is seeking clarity on whether the police should be more involved in the refugee situation after being told by officers that they are not sure they can arrest the group.
