Gunshots rang out not far from where police minister Bheki Cele was addressing community members about crime.
Police minister Bheki Cele's visit to the Cape Flats on Thursday was not enough to deter crime — gunshots rang out not far from where he was addressing community members.Cele had just addressed an imbizo in New Monwabisi Park, Endlovini, in Khayelitsha, where five people were killed on Monday.
“It is alleged that while the minister was visiting hotspot areas within the Heideveld area, he arrived at Allison Court to start his walkabout and shots rang out not far from him,” said Potelwa. “Less than 200m away, a 24-year-old male was approached by two suspects known to him, in the parking area of Cameo Lounge on Postern Road. They fired shots at the victim, hitting him in the abdomen.”Police are investigating a case of attempted murder. No arrests have been made.
