Gun violence has claimed the life of yet another child on the Cape Flats.

Delft police registered two counts of murder and four of attempted murder following a shooting incident last night, 10 April, at about 22:45, in Leiden Avenue, where a 38-year-old female and a 12-year-old boy were shot and killed.

Two men and two women, between the ages of 19 and 61, were also wounded.

Police responded to a complaint of the shooting, and upon arrival, they found the victims with multiple gunshot wounds.

The 38 and 12-year-old victims were declared deceased on the scene by medical personnel, while the other victims were transported to a medical facility for treatment.

According to reports, an unknown man knocked on the door, and when the door was opened, the suspect opened fire on the victims and fled the scene.

The motive for the attack is yet to be determined.

It comes after the murder of a 58-year-old woman in Leiden, Delft, on Thursday night, in what the community says appears to be extortion-related.

Officers found the body of the woman with a bullet wound to the head in a bedroom of a home on Silversands Road.

Locals claim that the woman was targeted for not paying protection money, but police spokesperson Wesley Twigg has not confirmed this, as detectives are still investigating the validity of the claim.

This killing follows the murder of a member of the South African army in Delft South on Wednesday night.

Anyone with any information about these shootings are requested to contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or use the mobile application MySAPS anonymously.

Unemployed UWC-graduates have turned an old golf cart into a clean-energy Power hub

Unemployed UWC graduates have turned an old golf cart into a clean-energy Power hub. What was once a rusted, 18-year-old golf cart headed for the scrapyard is now one of the most innovative vehicles on campus at the University of the Western Cape. Rebuilt by unemployed engineering graduates, the cart runs entirely on renewable energy. It can also power household appliances while driving up to 140 kilometres on a single charge. The Car is known as the Volt Cart.

“What makes this special is that it’s not just transport,” said lab head Bernard Bladergroen. “You have an AC power point wherever you go.”

The transformation was led by trainees from UWC’s Energy Storage Innovation Lab. This is part of the South African Institute for Advanced Materials Chemistry. The project forms part of a skills development programme focused on lithium-ion batteries and renewable energy integration.

The Volt Cart – from scrap to power hub

The old lead-acid battery was replaced with a locally assembled lithium battery pack, paired with solar roof panels and an onboard inverter. This allows users to plug in appliances anywhere on campus.

The country imported about $1 billion worth of batteries in 2023

The project also highlights South Africa’s growing demand for battery skills. As it stands, the country imported about $1 billion worth of batteries in 2023. The cart carries the name of Olivier Kasikalaala. He was the lead engineer on the project and passed away before its completion.

After test-driving the vehicle

After test-driving the vehicle, UWC Vice-Chancellor Robert Balfour praised the initiative. Balfour called it a glimpse of South Africa’s clean-energy future. From scrap to power hub, the Volt Cart shows what’s possible when unemployed graduates are given real problems – and real trust – to solve.
