The victims, identified as Gouwa Smith-Newman and Zainab Jacobs, were gunned down on Thursday afternoon while waiting outside Portlands Primary School in Mitchells Plain.
The shocking incident also left a 12-year-old boy injured.
According to police spokesperson Sergeant Wesley Twigg, the women, aged 26 and 30, were approached by a relative who opened fire on them at around 3pm on Wespoort Drive.
Twigg said: “Medical personnel declared the younger victim dead at the scene, while the older woman died shortly after arriving at a nearby medical facility.”
The child, a Grade 6 learner, was caught in the crossfire and sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Police confirmed that the suspect, a 32-year-old man, was arrested shortly after the shooting. He faces two counts of murder and one of attempted murder.
