The incident happened a week after Khayelitsha ANC ward 93 councillor Thando Pimpi and his family returned from a safe house to their home.

Pimpi fled the area in August, when suspects, who are also yet to be arrested, fired at his house and at his parked vehicle.

The attack, which he stills believes was politically motivated, came just after he was again elected as the ward councillor in the area. Phumeza Nomzazi, who had stood for nomination as a ward councillor, was shot dead in Khayelitsha, at the end of August.The ANC did not respond to questions about the latest shooting by deadline.

Police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk said Khayelitsha police were investigating an attempted murder case and nobody was arrested yet. Anyone with information about the shooting can anonymously contact investigating officer Muller at Khayelitsha SAPS on 061 466 4711 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111. Alternatively, SMS Crime Line on 32211.
