Western Cape
Community Safety Minister Albert Fritz has condemned the shooting and killing
of four young people in Elsies River on Tuesday night.
Amongst those killed in the shooting were a 10-year-old girl, two 12-year-old boys and a 19-year-old man - who was allegedly gang-affiliated.
Two women, who are believed to be the mothers of the victims, aged 30 and 33-years-old, were wounded in the shootings.
Following the incident, the suspects fled the scene.
The wounded women went to an adjoining block of flats, where they were cared for until they were taken to hospital by an ambulance.
Fritz said violence has no place in South African society.
