Cape Town – Police are investigating the murder of an Mfuleni community leader who was shot dead by two masked suspects while he sat in his living room.
“On morning at around 8.45 a 47-year-old man was shot and killed in his residence in Ponwana Street, Ext 4, Mfuleni, by two masked suspects who fled the scene and are yet to be arrested.Dastile’s widow, Linda May, who witnessed the attack, said she had taken cover with her child.“Me and my husband were in the living room with the 2-year-old child while the others were in another room. The front door was closed but not locked.
“My 12-year-old girl, after hearing gunshots, stepped out of her room to see what was happening; the two masked men had already gone. After the incident, I shouted at the neighbours, asking for help. None of my neighbours saw who these people were or where they ran to.”Community leader Nosipho Mkoko said there had been tension in the area.
"A group of men came out straight to me and confronted me about the venue for distributing food parcels, and I answered them politely,” Mkoko said.
