The police condemned the brutality by the young people who organise gang fights and terrorise the community.
Rabie Ridge Police Station’s corporate communications officer, Captain Mofana Masela said the police appeal to the community to come forward with information relating to either of these murders so that the perpetrators can be arrested and stand trial.
Masela warned the community not to walk around drunk in the streets because they become an easy target.
