Another mass shooting in Cape Town

Meanwhile, there was also another mass shooting in the Helderberg this weekend.

In a separate incident, a 36-year-old man was shot and killed in Ntanga Street.

Shooting in Lwandle

Preliminary information indicates that between three and four armed suspects allegedly opened fire on the victims following brief arguments before fleeing the scene. At the same time, the Acting Provincial Commissioner of the Western Cape, Major General Luyanda Damoyi, says the recent mass shooting incident in Lwandle is a blatant disregard for human life.
