The incident on the corner of Platteklip Street and Cable Way also left another critically wounded.

This led to the Mitchells Plain Community Policing Forum (CPF) issuing an urgent call for a commission of inquiry into gang-related violence.

According to police reports, the victims-two males aged 18 and 19 were gunned down while standing in the road. A third male was seriously injured and taken to the hospital for treatment.

Western Cape police spokesperson Sergeant Wesley Twigg said investigations are under way and added that the motive for the attack is believed to be linked to gang activity.

Police say a Toyota Etios drove past the group and opened fire before speeding away.
