The Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has confirmed a shooting at Cape Town International Airport in which at least one person has been wounded.

According to reports, a second person was wounded in the incident, which is suspected to be gang related.

“Just after five this morning, there was an incident on the upper roadway where one person was shot and a stray bullet hit someone else. It seems that the incident might be gang related. The police are in site and the area has been cordoned off,” Airports Company spokesperson, Deidre Davids.

Speaking to VOC News, South African Police Services’ Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo confirmed that a man, approximately 50 years of age, was shot at the drop-and-go section of the Cape Town International Airport on Wednesday morning.

“Apparently, he had arrived at the airport and suspects in an unknown vehicle opened fire on him, shooting and wounding him in his upper body.”

Naidoo says the victim was treated at the scene and transferred to hospital.

“At this stage the motive is unknown and no arrests have been made.”

SAPS is yet to release the identity of the victim.

ACSA has since confirmed that flights have not been affected at the Cape Town International Airport.
