A 22-YEAR-OLD man was executed at close range at the Manenberg canal in an apparent gang hit where the gun was pressed against his chest so no one would hear the shot.

A relative of the victim told the Daily Voice that the man was ambushed while walking near the canal and never stood a chance, as alleged Fancy Boys gunmen apparently drukked the firearm vol against his bors before pulling the trigger.

When the Daily Voice arrived at the scene, the relative, who chose to remain anonymous to protect her family, described what had happened.

She explained: "According to an eyewitness who was walking with their child, they said that Fancy Boys told them, 'jy loop net vooruit of ons jou gaan skiet en jy sê niks'.
