A male and a female suspect have been arrested by the #AntiHijacking Unit members following a car chase that led to the discovery of a hijacked vehicle, two cellular telephones and an imitation firearm.

#sapsWC [SAPS WESTERN CAPE INVESTIGATES TRIPLE MURDER AND ATTEMPTED MURDER IN LENTEGEUR]
#SAPS in the Western Cape have launched a manhunt for four suspects following a shooting incident in Lentegeur, Mitchells Plain, late on Wednesday evening, 30 September 2026, which claimed the lives of three men and left a woman critically injured.
Police responded to reports of a shooting in Blombos Street at approximately 23:15. On arrival, members found two men with gunshot wounds. Both were declared deceased at the scene.
A third man, who had also sustained gunshot wounds, was found in Eisleben Road after apparently fleeing from the shooters. He was declared deceased.
A woman who sustained serious gunshot wounds during the incident was transported to hospital for medical treatment.
It is alleged that four armed suspects, travelling in a white Nissan Almera with tinted windows, approached the victims and opened fire before fleeing the area.
The motive for the shooting has not yet been officially established and forms part of the ongoing investigation. Police are also following up on information regarding a possible gang-related motive.
Detectives attached to the #AntiGangUnit are investigating the triple murder and attempted murder. They are following up on all available information and are also canvassing the area for possible CCTV footage and witnesses who may assist in identifying the suspects.
The Western Cape Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sizakhele Dyantyi, expressed concern over the loss of life and called on investigators to swiftly identify and apprehend those responsible.
Anyone with information regarding the incident or the whereabouts of the suspects is urged to contact the investigating officer or #CrimeStop on 08600 10111. Information can also be provided anonymously via the #MySAPSApp.

The mother of the pregnant woman requested police to contact the ambulance but also indicated the urgency. The members immediately responded and accompanied the concerned grandmother to her house. On arrival at the residence the members found the woman who was unaware that she was already in labour. Sergeant Benn swiftly secured the area with towels and calmed the mom while she guided her with the birth of a beautiful girl. The members waited for the arrival of paramedics, handed over the patients and continued with normal duties.
They were discharged from hospital on Monday, 28/09.

#sapsWC [NATIONAL PRAYER DAY HELD IN KHAYELITSHA] Members of the #SAPS, community members, faith-based organisations and partners gathered in Khayelitsha for a National #SAPSPrayerDay, united in prayer for the safety and protection of police officials and the communities they serve.
The programme opened with a prayer by Apostle D Deelman, followed by a welcome by Brigadier M Nkwishi, who reminded those gathered of the risks faced by police officials in the execution of their duties. Being a police officer is not easy, and there is no guarantee that every member will return safely home at the end of their shift.
Speaking on the purpose of the day, Brigadier M Mnayameni emphasised that the gathering was not simply about prayer, but about recognising the human being behind the uniform. Every day, SAPS members put their lives at risk to protect others. The day provided an opportunity to pray for the safety of police officials and the communities they serve, while encouraging everyone to confront uncertainty with courage and support police members as part of the community family.
Management also participated in the symbolic lighting of the candle of hope, representing faith, unity and hope in the ongoing fight against crime.
Various spiritual leaders led prayers, including prayers for the protection of SAPS members, management and Western Cape Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General SW Dyantyi.
In his address, Lieutenant General Dyantyi reflected on the serious violence faced by police officials and the reality that members of the SAPS are themselves not spared from crime. He highlighted the attacks that police officers face while serving their communities, including members being assaulted and attacked while performing their duties.
The Provincial Commissioner also paid tribute to police officials who have lost their lives in the line of duty, including the tragic murder of a police captain in Knysna. He reminded those gathered that some members have made the ultimate sacrifice and did not return home to their families.
Lieutenant General Dyantyi further highlighted the scourge of gender-based violence and femicide, calling on communities to protect women and work together to create safer environments.
In concluding his message, the Provincial Commissioner reaffirmed his unwavering support for SAPS members in the fight against crime, emphasising that the police must confront crime with determination while recognising the importance of faith and community support.
The National Prayer Day served as a powerful reminder that police officials are not only members in uniform, but human beings with families, hopes and loved ones waiting for them to return home. #PoliceSafety #SaferCommunities ME

Western Cape Provincial Commissioner, Lt General Sizakhele Dyantyi has established a multi-disciplinary team led by serious violent crime detectives to investigate after 10 people were shot and killed in Lwandle in the early hours of Sunday morning.

#sapsWC [INTEGRATED TEAM SEIZES A PROHIBITED FIREARM AND DRUGS IN DELFT] An integrated operation by members of Delft #SAPS and the City’s LEAP officers led to the arrest of a 30yr-old suspect for the possession of a prohibited firearm and possession of drugs in Voorbrug, Delft, in the Western Cape on Friday, 25/09.
Acting on information about drugs being sold in Fairhaven Road, members swiftly followed up and conducted a search at the identified premises. The members recovered a firearm without a serial number and approximately 500 mandrax tablets, with an estimated street value of R20 000.00.
The suspect was arrested and detained at Delft SAPS. The firearm and drugs were handed in as exhibits. SAPS and its law-enforcement partners remain relentless in disrupting the illegal trade in drugs and firearms and holding those involved accountable.
In an unrelated matter, #AntiGangUnit members arrested a 27-year-old male for the possession of a prohibited firearm and illegal possession of ammo on Thursday, 24/09, at a premises in Beethoven Street, Steenberg. The members followed up on information received and upon arrival at the identified address, they conducted a search of the premises which led to the discovery of a 9mm pistol with 17 rounds of ammunition concealed in a Styrofoam container wrapped in plastic. He was subsequently arrested and detained at Steenberg SAPS.
The recovered firearms will be subjected to ballistic testing to determine any linkages to other crimes committed in the country.
The suspects are expected to make their respective court appearances in Bellville and Wynberg Magistrates’ court on Monday, 28/09, for their respective charges. #DrugsOffTheStreets #GunsOffTheStreets #PartnershipPolicing #SaferCommunities ME
