Police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk stated that the victims were shot in various body parts, highlighting the intensity of the violence.

The Aftermath and Ongoing Investigations

Shortly after the shooting, Lee Dreyer himself was gunned down about 100 meters from his home. Early reports suggest that he was killed by members of his own gang, as it would be highly unlikely for rival gangsters to penetrate his territory with ease.

As the police investigate the Manenberg incidents, they have registered a murder case but have not yet made any arrests.

The ongoing cycle of gun violence has raised alarm among Manenberg community leaders. Abie Isaacs, chairperson of the Cape Flats Safety Forum, expressed his concern regarding the rising number of mass shootings as the festive season approaches, calling on law enforcement agencies to intensify their crime-fighting efforts in the province.
