Three died on the scene, one died later in hospital while the other four were critically injured. They were all taken to hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dumisani Qwebe, Nyanga CPF secretary, said mass killings are becoming a norm in the townships. He appealed for measures to halt the carnage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe law enforcement agencies need to intervene and ensure that the criminals feel their presence. We can\u2019t allow the criminals to do as they pleased in our streets,\u201d said Qwebe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_75337e54\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cWe need to reclaim our streets from the hooligans\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>He labelled Browns Farm as one of the problematic areas in the Nyanga policing precinct, with criminals at war with the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t fold our arms and allow the criminals to dictate to us. They are at war now. The government needs to do something before it is too late. The law enforcement agencies need to ensure that they clean the streets,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Qwebe declared that too many guns are on the streets and efforts must be made to remove them. He indicated that different community stakeholders will convene a meeting soon to try to strategise against hooligans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Provincial police spokesperson Col Andre Traut appealed to anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of the culprits to contact the police. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Traut, the deceased are in their twenties. The injured are aged between 27 and 35. He said on Sunday 5 May, around 18:20, unknown gunmen opened fire at the victims at their residence in Mazizini in Browns Farm, Nyanga, killing three on the scene and wounding five. \u201cThe injured victims were admitted to hospital where one succumbed to death. Detectives attached to the Provincial Serious and Violent Crimes Unit are pursuing some leads in a bid to apprehend those responsible for the murders and attempted murders and will appreciate community assistance to expedite the investigation,\u201d urged Traut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Witnesses are encouraged to contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or to use the
