Three Killed, One Wounded, and Rape Case Under Probe Amid Escalating Violence

In the early hours of Sunday, September 14, 2025, the South African Police Service (SAPS) in the Western Cape confirmed three separate shooting incidents in the Wallacedene area of Kraaifontein, resulting in the deaths of three individuals. A fourth victim, who sustained gunshot wounds, was hospitalized, prompting the opening of an attempted murder docket. Additionally, a separate rape case is being investigated in connection with one of the incidents. No arrests have been made, and police have deployed additional resources to the area as investigations continue. This wave of violence follows a series of deadly shootings in the same precinct just days earlier, heightening concerns over gang-related activities in the Cape Flats region.
