The murders saw a quick response from the police with promises of swift arrests. But while the investigations are underway, law-abiding citizens are scared they might be next.Another dark week in the Eastern Cape. 17 murders in just 5 days. The impact is widely felt as family members try to come to terms with their loss. It is a pain almost too heavy to bear.
“My prayer is for the sake of my daughter’s life and her three children is for those who did such a horrific act to be arrested. I really pray that they will be found and placed behind bars for her sake. Oh, my dear child, I can’t believe she is no more.”The community of Bhityi near Mthatha was also rocked by two mass murders in one night. 10 lives were brutally taken. Seven youngsters at Qunu and three family members at Thantseka.
The Minister of Police, Bheki Cele, visited Gqeberha, vowing that the police will find the criminals behind the Kwazakhele shooting. No arrests have been made in connection with the three incidents this week. Provincial community safety spokesperson, Unathi Binqose, says the proliferation of illegal firearms and their use in these murders is also of concern.
