The rate of crime in South Africa has reached a shocking height and the inefficiency of the SAPS is making matters worst. If someone as rich as Kiernan Forbes can be shot and killed in public, then no one is safe in this country.
Early this morning at around 00:45, police in Kwazakele were on patrol when they were approached by a woman reporting a shooting at a house in Nomjila Street. Upon arrival, it was discovered that four people had been killed (three women and one man) and several others were injured (the exact number is still being verified).
