Dumisani Joxo, who was shot dead by a City of Cape Town law enforcement officer, was part of the 28s prison gang, his partner said in court.

Dumisani Joxo, who was shot and killed by a City of Cape Town law enforcement officer last year, was part of the 28s gang, the Wynberg Magistrates Court heard on Wednesday.

Coleridge initially said Joxo told her that although he was the leader of the 28s in the area. “He explained to me that they are a number but they are not a gang, and he is in charge”. Coleridge told the court that when she came out from her tent she saw Mbuqe on his way to fetch a pickaxe. She said Kati took out his firearm before Mbuqe fetched the pickaxe and pointed it towards him. Kati denied this, Riley said. He further said that the only time the firearm was out was when the shot was fired.“The law enforcement officer told [Mbuqe] to hit him and said he said he smaaks to kill someone today.” Kati denied this, said Riley.

“What seems to be clear is that the deceased was intent on going to the law enforcement officer,” Riley told the court.
