“Why did they have to kill them? His cellphone was still there, his jacket and cash, just less than R100,” Molobela sobbed. Molobela says her taxi driver brother’s death is heartbreaking, but the real pain will be felt by his 13- and 7-year-old children. “One of our brothers was taken last night. We don’t want to speak to the media, give us the police. We want answers from Cele,” an angry driver shouted.
“The community is angry and tired of senseless crimes and criminals ruling our streets. Community members immediately started co-operating and feeding SAPS important information,” Mabunda told TimesLIVE.“A lot of the violent criminals are young boys. They do not respect their elders or the police.”“Ballistics will tell the police a lot once the suspects’ weapons are tested.
