Underworld figure Mark Lifman gunned down in George
Lifman was scheduled to appear in the Western Cape High Court tomorrow.
Mark Lifman (57), a prominent figure in South Africa’s alleged organised crime circles, was shot and killed in the parking area of the Garden Route Mall earlier today. A source close to George Herald confirmed that Lifman had been killed.
The shooting took place at about 11:30 and the suspects fled in a white VW Polo with a CY registration number. No arrests have been made.
Lifman was facing multiple charges, including murder, attempted murder, money laundering, and gang-related offences.
Lifman, security company owner Andre Naude and alleged Sexy Boys gang leader Jerome ‘Donkie’ Booysen, along with several others, face a plethora of charges linked to alleged underworld battles for the control of nightclubs.
They have been charged with the murder of Brian Weinstein, who was gunned down in his Constantia home in August 2017.
Lifman’s activities have been under scrutiny for years, and his name is frequently mentioned alongside other high-profile figures, such as Jerome ‘Donkie’ Booysen and Nafiz Modack, due to alleged involvement in gang networks and violence within the Cape Town area.
Lifman was due to appear in the Western Cape High Court tomorrow.
