Law

‘Turf war’
Meanwhile, a “turf war among gang members” appears to be unfolding in Reiger Park, Boksburg, following a deadly drive-by shooting that left six people dead and three others injured.
This is according to crime expert Chad Thomas, who visited the area and the family of one of the victims on Sunday after the shooting.
Acting Provincial Police Commissioner of Gauteng, Major General Fred Kekana, said they have identified a suspect who may be linked to the drive-by shooting.
Shooting
The shooting took place hours after the funeral of a local gangster in Reiger Park.
According to Kekana, two cars, a silver and black Volkswagen Polo, drove into the area and opened fire, killing three men and two women.
