Police are probing the death of alleged underworld kingpin Mark Lifman who was gunned down in a hail of bullets at a shopping mall in George on Sunday.

One of Lifman’s closest friends, Jerome ‘Donkie’ Booysen, was emotional as the news broke on Sunday, saying the shooting had left him baffled. Police have yet to confirm arrests. Lifman was killed just a day before he was set to return to the Western Cape High Court where along with Booysen he is currently facing an array of charges including murder.
According to court papers the charges levelled against Booysen and Lifman follows a fallout in the underworld ‘brotherhood’. The documents state that in the same year Lifman was in conflict with Wainstein over property and investments. Tensions between the two reached boiling point this year when Lifman’s attorneys warned that he would seek damages of R500 000 amid social media claims by Jorberg linking Lifman to various crimes such as the murder of his doorman several years ago. This amount has now increased to R1 million.
“I don’t have factual evidence as in a sworn statement by the hitman that he was ordered by Mark Lifman. I was never given an option that there could be anyone else behind it,” Jorberg said.
