CAPE TOWN - Three residents, including an 11-year-old boy, are recovering in hospital after they were shot in two gang-infested areas in Cape Town.
Manenberg ward councillor Aslam Cassiem said that the Manenberg area had been fairly quiet over the past week.According to police, the violence started after stone-throwing between rival gangs. A video circulating on social media shows a gunman firing shots in full view of residents and children. Cassiem said that in his view it wasn't exactly gang-related, adding that residents came out because they were sick and tired of constant stone-throwing in the area.
"They were throwing stones and brick at one another. There has been gang violence but this incident was not part of the ongoing gang warfare."Meanwhile, police are investigating a drive-by shooting that injured a pregnant woman and a man while walking in Surwood Walk in Hanover Park.
