Sunday World
|SW July 06 2025 edition
Almost 200 killed in three months since January
Good party secretary-general Brett Herron has accused the Cape Town metro of abandoning the Cape Flats.
The politician was speaking to Sunday World in the aftermath of the recent mass killings in the area largely populated by black and coloured residents of the city.
A week ago, seven people were gunned down in Gugulethu, while five were killed and seven injured in shooting incidents in Mitchells Plain on Thursday, July 3.
Herron said: “The people of Mitchells Plain, Gugulethu, Samora Machel, Philippi, Lwandle and Khayelitsha deserve more than condolences; they deserve real change. Until that comes, gang violence will remain the bloody proof of our government's failure.
“In the first three months of this year, 902 people were murdered in the metro, and 197 of them in gang-related killings.
