Three people aged between 25 and 30 were shot dead in another gang-suspected shooting in KwaZakhele near Gqeberha, Eastern Cape police said.
Spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu said the incident happened on Saturday afternoon, after a group of people returned to a house following a burial.
“The third victim, Thandoxolo Williams, 30, was gunned down in Daku Road. He also sustained multiple gunshot wounds. All three crime scenes are in close proximity,” she said."The motive for the killings is suspected to be gang related. While police have implemented the 72-hour activation plan, they are also appealing to anyone who may have any information on the whereabouts of these suspects to contact them.
She said acting district commissioner, Brigadier Thandiswa Kupiso has strongly condemned “such callous acts” and has appealed to the communities to assist the police in tracing these “heartless criminals”.
