A bloody weekend across the Cape Flats has left communities reeling after at least 38 people were shot in a wave of shootings and stabbings between Friday and Monday morning.

The incidents were reported across several crime-hit areas including Mitchells Plain, Hanover Park, Manenberg, Bishop Lavis, Delft, Gugulethu, Khayelitsha, Lavender Hill, Elsies River and Athlone, with many of the attacks believed to be gang-related.

On Saturday alone, multiple shootings were reported within hours of each other.

In Hanover Park, one person was shot in Sherwood Walk before two more people were wounded in a drive-by shooting in Ontario Court later in the day.

In Tafelsig, Mitchells Plain, four people were shot in Towerkop Street, with two victims dying on the scene and two others wounded.

In Bishop Lavis, a man was shot and killed in Pelican Street, while in Bonteheuwel another victim was wounded in a shooting in Bramble Way and Bitterblaar Road.

A victim was also shot in Valhalla Park, while an e-hailing driver came under fire in Gugulethu.

Police were also called to several gruesome scenes over the weekend.

The naked body of a woman with multiple stab wounds was discovered behind Boxer Store in Mitchells Plain Town Centre, while another bloodied female body was found on a field near St Andrews High School in Ravensmead.

On Sunday, the violence continued unabated.

In Khayelitsha, six men were shot and killed in two separate mass shootings in Makhaza and Endlovini, Harare, within a matter of hours.

In Leonsdale, Elsies River, a 13-year-old boy was shot and killed while two other young men were wounded.

Further fatal shootings were reported in Vrygrond, Silvertown in Athlone, Lavender Hill, Delft and Bishop Lavis.

In Eastridge, Mitchells Plain, three people -including a mother and daughter -were wounded in a drive-by shooting in 6th Avenue.

A man was stabbed to death in Manenberg, while the body of another man was discovered in a shallow grave in Skaapkraal.

The latest attack took place on Monday morning in Woodlands, Mitchells Plain, where a man was shot and killed while sitting in his vehicle at the corner of Weltevreden Drive and Highlands Road.

The latest surge in violence has once again highlighted the ongoing gang warfare and violent crime plaguing parts of the Cape Flats, with residents living in fear as shootings continue almost daily in several communities.

Today I conducted a surprise oversight visit to Khayelitsha SAPS FCS.

The unit is expected to deal with some of the most sensitive crimes, including sexual offences, child victims and family violence, but is operating with far too few people.

The reported ideal is about 43 personnel. The current number is about 21.

Despite this, the police officers there are doing serious work with very little. That must be recognised.

But commitment cannot replace capacity. SAPS must urgently address the staffing shortage and heavy docket loads at FCS units.

Victims deserve a system that has the people, time and tools to investigate properly.

Feedback to follow

MULTI-DISCIPLINARY OPERATION PREVENTS SUSPECTED CASH-IN-TRANSIT ROBBERY IN EAST RAND

A coordinated multi-disciplinary operation involving SAPS Gauteng TRT, SAPS Crime Intelligence Head Office MDOC, SAPS Gauteng Anti-Gang Unit, SAPS DPC Tracking Team, Gauteng Traffic Police Airwing, CAP Specialised Operations, Tracker Connect and Bidvest Protea Coin led to the disruption of a suspected cash-in-transit robbery operation in the East Rand.

Information was received regarding suspects allegedly involved in cash-in-transit robberies who were believed to be in the East Rand area preparing to commit a CIT robbery.

Operational teams were immediately deployed to search for the suspects. Shortly afterwards, officers spotted three suspect vehicles travelling together, including a Chery Tiggo SUV, a GWM double cab pick-up and a third unidentified vehicle.

Members executed the operational plan and attempted to stop the vehicles. A high-speed chase ensued, resulting in three suspects being fatally wounded during the operation.

Two sought vehicles, a Chery Tiggo SUV and a GWM double cab pick-up, were recovered. The third suspect vehicle managed to flee the scene.

During the operation, members recovered an unlicensed AK-47 rifle, additional firearms and ammunition.

The team further followed up on information at a residential premises in Katlehong, where a Ford EcoSport was recovered and confirmed to be a sought vehicle linked to criminal activities.

Further investigations are underway to link the suspects to other serious crimes committed across Gauteng and surrounding areas.

JUST IN:

Western Cape police have mobilised additional resources and launched a massive manhunt following two separate mass shootings in Khayelitsha that claimed the lives of six men within hours of each other.

Detectives attached to the Serious and Violent Crimes Unit are investigating the deadly incidents, which occurred in Makhaza and Endlovini, Harare, between Sunday night and the early hours of Monday morning.

In the first attack, three men aged between 20 and 24 were gunned down inside an informal dwelling in Khonkxa Street, Makhaza, on Sunday evening at about 19:30.

According to police, family members heard multiple gunshots and rushed to investigate, only to find the victims lying inside the structure with fatal gunshot wounds.

Just hours later, at about 01:38 on Monday morning, another triple murder unfolded at a shebeen in Endlovini, Harare.

Three men, believed to be in their thirties, were shot during the incident and later succumbed to their injuries at a medical facility.

The suspects in both shootings fled the scenes and remain at large.

Police say the motives for the attacks are still under investigation.

SAPS confirmed that deployments have been increased in the affected communities as part of efforts to stabilise the area and track down those responsible.

The shootings have once again highlighted ongoing concerns over violent crime and gun violence in parts of the Western Cape.

The latest killings come amid a bloody weekend in the province. In Stellenbosch, six people were also killed in separate incidents on Saturday night, adding to fears over escalating violence across the Western Cape.
