Manenberg remains tense following gang violence
Last week a spate of shootings left at least four people dead.
CAPE TOWN - The Manenberg Community Policing Forum said the gang-stricken area remains tense.
Last week a spate of shootings left at least four people dead.
The forum's Roegshanda Pascoe said after a short-lived respite, a man was gunned down on Saturday night.
"The atmosphere in the community is still tense as I was looking down the street a woman was coming from church, she had to run into a barber shop for cover."
A 16-year-old boy was shot dead while on his way to school last week and 15-year-old boy was also wounded in a separate shooting.
Manenberg residents renewed their calls for the army to be deployed to quell gang violence.
Last week, the Health Department declared Manenberg a danger zone, which means ambulances are not allowed in without a police escort.
The Manenberg CPF said most learners in the area will stay away from school this week.
