A Toyota Avanza came along, parked alongside it and opened fire, then it moved forward and made a U-turn. The perpetrators got out of the car, walked across and shot again before fleeing the scene.\u201d The community leader bemoaned lack of police visibility in the area and urged Minister of Police Bheki Cele to deploy more officers to the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also read:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/city-vision\/mass-killing-causes-panic-in-the-ktc-community-20230926\" target=\"_blank\">Mass killing causes panic in the KTC community<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Provincial police spokesperson, Col Andr\u00e9 Traut, confirmed the incident.
