Last night, three men were shot and wounded at Sasol garage on the corners of Voortrekker road and 5th Avenue. Gunmen opened fire and two victims were rushed to hospital while the other victim succumbed to the wound and died on the scene.

“We appeal to all residents to be vigilant and report all suspicious activity to Saps or any relevant authorities,” said the Kensington CPF.

There were several other shootings in other parts of the Cape Flats on Tuesday.
