The Belhar community is reeling after a mother was killed when she was allegedly hit by a stray bullet near her children’s school.
The 25-year-old mother of two was dropping off her children on Friday morning when she was hit by a bullet a short distance from Riebeekstraat Primary School.
"Preliminary reports suggest that a 25-year-old female was shot and fatally wounded on Friday morning in De Braak Square, Belhar. The suspects fled the scene and are yet to be arrested," said Twigg. "I unfortunately and sadly can confirm that there was a shooting incident, allegedly gang-related, outside the school on Friday morning," she said.
Belhar ward councillor Willie Japhta said the community was in great shock as this was the second senseless killing in two days.
