While the search for one of two men suspected of being the masterminds behind the recent deadly mass shooting in Gugulethu continues, local community leaders are at wits end. They are appealing for a speedy resolution of the matter and for justice to be meted out against the perpetrators.
According to police, two men are linked to the gruesome killing of
eight people in a shack at Kanana informal settlement in Gugulethu on Sunday 28 June.
One of the suspects is Lungile Anthony Madolo, who reportedly handed himself to the police after his image and his alleged accomplice, Loyiso Matisini, were circulated on social media following the incident.
Madolo is notoriously known for the alleged killing of Guffy Dinginto, former Gugulethu CPF deputy chair, in 2023. He was arrested in Graff Reinet, Eastern Cape, during a joint intelligence-led takedown operation”
(“35-year-old man arrested in
connection with the gruesome murder of former Gugulethu CPF deputy chair”, City Vision, 18 January 2024).
Unconfirmed reports suggest that he was released from custody a few days prior to the Kanana shooting.
Provincial police spokesperson Col Andrew Traut praised the detectives attached to the Provincial Serious and Violent Crimes Unit. He said their work culminated in the arrest of a 35 year-old suspect.
“While the investigation continues and the search for an additional suspect is underway the arrested individual is currently
being processed for his imminent court appearance in the Athlone Magistrates’ Court, following formal charges.
“Officers are appealing to the public for assistance in tracing Loyiso Matinisi who is sought in connection with the case,” said Traut.
Madolo appeared in the Athlone Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday last week 3 July and appeared again yesterday (09 July)
A community leader, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal, described the perpetrators as heartless
“We want the law to take its course against the perpetrator We want the officers to ask the perpetrator to tell them where his accomplice is They both deserve to rot in jail,” he said He stated that Gugulethu is becoming a crime zone He urged law enforcement agencies to squeeze the space for the criminals. He urged the community not to take the law into their hands. “We don’t want to have a situation where people will end up paying revenge because it will affect innocent people Instead, we need more police visibility to stabilise peace in all sectors of Gugulethu,” he stated.

ating safer communities Their good work is overshadowed by lawlessness within the system. People in suits and the highest offices in the land make highly questionable decisions. Victims often do not get closure while alleged perpetrators go scot-free In most scenarios the perpetrators go back to society and resume their torment of other people
While I am not certain about the circumstances that led to the release of the accused in the 2023 killing of Gugulethu Community Policing Forum (CPF) deputy chair Lulama ‘Guffy’ Dinginto serious questions remain
We have been told that Lungile Anthony Madolo was released a few days before a deadly mass shooting in Gugulethu. I am sure most people thought he was still in jail or police custody. To hear that someone who was arrested in connection with her death has been out and roaming the very streets raises concerns about the effectiveness of our justice system. There must be a concerted effort to close all the loopholes, otherwise we are doomed to lie at the mercy of criminals. When people such as Mkhwazi feel they are failed by those in power, who are we to expect fairness in the system?

It can’t be correct for people to erect their shacks on a wetland or pond and cry foul when it rains.
People must learn to man-up for their decisions It’s irritating when people create the mess, then point fingers when things do not go according to their plans
We’ve seen people illegally occupying land and fighting with the officers when they try to remove them. It is even more irritating when the very same people take the government to court in a quest to justify their actions.
We know that most informal settlements, especially in the province, were built against the law
The question is, why were they built on wetlands or in a pond?
By nature humans are able to distinguish between right and wrong Why can’t these people see that they are building on a wetland or pond and it’s not suitable for residential purposes
On the other hand, we have community leaders who support their actions because they are power hungry.
Instead of engaging with them constructively and trying to show them the disadvantages or the danger of their actions, they stand with them. It has become the norm in this country whenever we approach the elections to see service-delivery protests. People will vandalise and destroy the same facilities that are meant for their benefit.
There is nothing wrong with fighting for your rights, but people must use the right channels to fight them.
300 evacuated after Site C floods
UNATHIOBOSE
Flood victims from Khunkqu section in Taiwan informal settlement, Site C, are appealing to the City of Cape Town to relocate them to a safer area, following the recent torrential rains and flooding.
More than 300 people, including the children, were evacuated from the area to Fulani Community Hall as authorities battled to keep up with the numbers of people affected by the floods.
Khunkqu is one of the areas that were severely affected two weeks
ago and scores of destitute people have been placed in a local community hall
In an interview with City Vision, one of the victims, Nolusindiso
Toza, said they have been in the facility for two weeks and are unsure about the future. “Our shacks are in a terrible state. We had to evacuate due to flooding. Our fridges, cupboards, wardrobes, and couches were damaged by the water, and could not save them. There is no way we could have survived there because in some shacks the water was kneehigh,” said Toza
She said all they want are temporary structures and a suitable piece of land to put up the structures.
Toza said annually they are facing similar challenges. “What is painful is that there are elderly people and children who stay here. The hall is too cold, but we are staying because we don’t have a choice,” she stated.
Community leader Viwe Martins praised the Ward 87 councillor Khayalethu Kama for his support. He said Kama ensures they don’t go to bed hungry “We have been getting food three times a
day since we moved here Our councillor is with us. But, what we want now is a safe place to stay. The City says nothing about building the houses for us. All we need now is a piece of land. We don’t mind using our own material to rebuild our shacks The fact is, we are not safe here Our lives are in danger,” he said, adding that some residents refused to leave their shacks to guard their stuff
Martins said that there is no privacy in the hall. He said men sleep on one side and women on the other side “We have our own
rules to keep the order We close the hall at 23:00. Women have their own toilets and men as well. Two for male and two for women They also use them to bathe,” he explained.
Martins said they will stay at the facility until the rain stops Kama urged the local businesses to come on board and assist the flood victims. “The Taiwan informal area was part of the N2 Gateway Housing Project which was under the provincial Department of Infrastructure. After the City took it over, it started the whole process from scratch,” said Kama

Clinic helping distressed dogs
UNATHIOBOSE
Staff members from Mdzananda Animal Clinic in Khayelitsha are on a campaign to collect all the dogs that are in distress due to the recent severe floods.
Mdzananda is a non-profit organisation that enhances the well-being of animals and their human companions through low cost veterinary health care services and education. They also establish vital partnerships inside and outside of the community.
The current campaign started a few weeks ago during the heavy rains.
Facility coordinator Philani Mathe said they formed a disaster team which is visiting the affected communities in and around Khayelitsha.
"So far we have collected only two dogs, and we have provided them with shelters. There were some residents who refused to give us their dogs. But those who refused to surrender their dogs we gave them kennels," explained Mathe, adding that at least five kennels have been donated to the community so far. He urged the community to look after their pets.
Mathe described humans as animals. "We are all animals. It's just that we are human beings, others are carnivores and others are herbivores. Animals have their own
way of communicating like human beings. For example, if a cat wants to go outside. It will go to the door and scratch it at the bottom And it will do the same when it wants to come inside.
“The same applies to dogs having their own way of communicating," explained Mathe, adding that it is vital to have a relationship with the pets.
He stated that people are welcomed to voluntarily bring their dogs and cats to the clinic if they want them instead of letting them roam the streets.
"We register them into our database for people who want to adopt them But before we give you a dog, we first visit your home to see if it is safe for the dog to live in. We check if the house has a yard. The owner must have a kennel with a blanket inside, a bowl for water and for food," he said
Mathe stressed that dog prices vary “Before we give you a dog, we make sure that it is sterilised and vaccinated For the puppies, we wait for six weeks before we start selling them. We also vaccinate them,” he explained. He said the clinic opens six days a week.
“On Monday to Friday opens at 08:00 to 16:30. On Saturday 08:00 to 13:00,” he said. When the City Vision visited the clinic on Saturday 5 July all the dogs were in their cages and other employees were sitting there as if they were monitoring them

‘No more dialogue, only action!’
NAMHLAMONAKALI
Twenty people killed. One week. One province And one side of the mountain.
As a string of mass shootings continue to rock Cape Town, particularly on the Cape Flats and in the townships, residents are running out of words and patience.
In the latest incident seven men were gunned down in yet another brazen act of violence that has pushed the week’s death toll to over 20 across Cape Town’s gang-ravaged communities.
While government leaders scramble for statements and police plead for public assistance, one resident’s voice has captured national attention, cutting through the official responses with raw and urgent truth.
Tarryn Bell, a community activist from Hanover Park, took to social media on Monday 30 June with a public letter expressing deep frustration at what she described as the state’s ongoing failure to protect its most vulnerable citizens.
“This isn’t a war zone; it’s our communities. Our Cape Flats. Our sons and daughters. Yet politicians are too busy fighting one another. They have an actual budget for it.”
In the post, which has since been widely circulated, Bell criticised both national and provincial leadership for what she described as “performance over protection” and “conversation over intervention”. Her comments are directed in part at the government’s R700 million allocation for a National Dialogue on social cohesion. “We don’t need another dialogue,” she wrote. “We need leadership with a conscience. We need action, justice, and protection.”
Her words echo the despair and anger felt across a number of communities, including Manenberg, Bishop Lavis, Bonteheu-
wel, and Mitchells Plain, where funerals now outnumber public meetings and gunshots have replaced the sounds of children at play.
‘Killing fields of the Western Cape’
Responding to the violence that has engulfed the province, Police Minister Senzo Mchunu admitted the scale and brutality of the killings had reached crisis levels.
“There is no doubt that the Cape Flats in Cape Town have indeed become the killing fields of the Western Cape,” he conceded at a media briefing.
Mchunu called on police top management to implement decisive and extraordinary measures, adding that traditional methods of policing were insufficient to meet the threat posed by organised criminal groups.
“One thing that is crystal clear is that murderers are out there to kill The situation demands a targeted approach before these murderers intensify their terror.”
But for residents like Bell, these statements sound all too familiar.
“We bury children weekly under the shadow of our mountain,” she said. “How can we talk about democracy when the people aren’t governing and promises lie broken in pools of blood?”
Divided by the railway line
Bell’s statement draws a sharp contrast between life on the Cape Flats and life elsewhere in the city, highlighting how unity and celebration in one part of Cape Town with fans who geared up for the weekend's Springbok rugby matches is matched by mourning and fear in another.
“Today, the rugby awaits many on this side of the railway line; cheers, beers, and green-and-gold,” she wrote.
“But on the other side, in silver hokkies and backyard pandokkies, we are crying out for a reckoning.”
‘Not normal’
While the police minister called for the mobilisation of all available law enforcement resources, many residents remain sceptical.
“Communities cannot be abandoned to live in fear and under siege,” he said “We urge the National Commissioner and his team to act urgently.”
But trust in the police remains low Years of unsolved murders, alleged corruption and limited visible policing have left many feeling not only vulnerable but voiceless
“We are not waiting for another election,” Bell concluded. “We are calling for accountability and a reckoning.”
As funerals are planned and candles lit the question remains, when will leaders move from words to will and restore peace to the communities trapped beneath the weight of promises never kept?

WaterbeingrestoredinKhayelitshafollowingcomplexvalverepair
Water supply in several areas in and around Khayelitsha is expected to return to normal today (10 July) after the City of Cape Cape concluded repair work on the “faulty 450mm valve” yesterday
The City’s mayco member for Water and Sanitation Zahid Badroodien said the repair work started on Saturday 5 July and was completed on Tuesday 8 July. Final adjustments were underway yesterday to restore water to the area
“The operational team overcame several challenges and delays, while working to restore water supply to Harare, Kuyasa, Monwabisi Park, New Monwabisi and parts of Ilitha Park in Khayelitsha,” said Badroodien.
According to Badroodien, on Saturday 5 July multiple valves failed, which meant they became stuck in a closed position. He said that prevented the pipeline from draining properly causing a delay in being able to access the repair site safely. He said when water supply was temporarily restored on Sunday 6 Julay another two broken valves were discovered, further impacting the process as additional repairs were now required
He said in order for the team to conduct the new repairs, they had to grind into a pipe to correctly fit the new valve and successfully complete the repair. He said to support residents during the outage water tankers were deployed in consultation with
local ward councillors from Sunday 6 July.
Additional tankers were requested on Tuesday 8 July to extend supply coverage however, some delays were experienced in getting the tankers to the affected areas as these additional tankers would have to come from other regions after having serviced the informal settlements where they are allocated.
‘The repair has now been completed, and the water supply is being gradually restored to the greater Khayelitsha area
However, we are aware that some areas are still reporting no water Operational teams are actively checking and opening valves to ensure the network is fully recharged,” said Badroodien.

Cableway closing for annual service
All commercial activity at the Upper and Lower Cable Car Stations on Table Mountain will be closed to the public from Monday 28 July until Sunday 3 August for its annual maintenance.
This planned shutdown is part of Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company’s ongoing commitment to safety, reliability, and excellence in service.
Selma Hercules, Executive Director of TMACC, said: “The annual shutdown is a critical part of our operational calendar “It allows us to carry out key maintenance tasks that ensure the safety of our visitors and staff, and the continued efficiency of our world-class operation.”
Important notice for hikers:
While the mountain itself remains open to outdoor enthusiasts; hikers and climbers should note that all facilities at the summit and base stations will be closed during the shutdown This includes VIEWS by De Grendel, TEN67 Eatery, KLOUD Bar, TAP Bar, the Shop at the Top and other retail outlets, plus the ablution facilities. As the cable cars will be completely out of commission, no trips up or down will take place, so hikers must prepare to return down on foot. “We strongly advise carrying sufficient water, snacks, and appropriate gear for your hike,” warned Hercules.

As the cold winter days set in those living on the streets are among the hardest hit. Fortunately, thanks to a blanket drive launched by three local businesses, some may now sleep a little more warmly
The Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CCID) has partnered with City Sightseeing (the “Red Bus” company) and Kamili Coffee for a blanket drive as part of a Mandela Day initiative
Tara Gerardy-Bissolati, CCID socialdevelopment manager, said the initiative is the brainchild of City Sightseeing. They invited the CCID to join the project.
“Madiba Day is a powerful reminder that small acts of kindness can bring lasting change, and we are proud to join forces with City Sightseeing on this initiative.”
Gerardy-Bissolati said they are relying on the generosity of the public to make the project a success.
“Any donation is welcome, even one blanket will make a difference. The blanket collection point is in the heart of the CBD, in our footprint, and the CCID’s socialdevelopment department works tirelessly to assist homeless individuals in our footprint.
“We are therefore able to distribute the blankets to those in need.”
She said that the blankets will be donated to the CCID’s partner organisations, The Haven Night Shelter Welfare Organisation Cape Town and Youth Solutions Africa.
Gerardy-Bissolati said the handover will take place on Monday 21 July.
“The Haven Night Shelter and Youth Solutions Africa are two valuable partner
NGOs of the CCID’s social-development department. Through these two institutions we can expand our ability to offer transitional-housing options and shelter capacity for the homeless, providing crucial support as they work towards stable living conditions.”
She added that the blankets will be used at these institutions on CCID-funded beds
“While this is mainly a blanket drive, if they (people) would like to donate other items, CCID Social Development will assist in their distribution to homeless clients on the streets of the CBD.”
When dropping a blanket patrons will get a free cup of coffee from Kamili Coffee.
“They can collect blankets among friends and family and do a collective drop-off, in that way spreading the Madiba love.”
Gerardy-Bissolati said Mandela Day provides a much-needed opportunity for people to step up and help those in need.
“Issues surrounding homelessness are complex and everyone is a human being and deserves to be treated like they would like to be treated themselves – with kindness, compassion and respect.
“We are extremely grateful for the public’s generosity.
“This drive is a powerful reminder that small acts of kindness can bring lasting change.”
Blankets can be dropped off at City Sightseeing Stop 5, 81 Long Street, which is also home to the coffee shop.
People who would like to make a monetary donation to the CCID Show You Care fundraising arm can SMS “Give” to 38088. Each SMS costs R10, of which an average R8 goes to Show You Care
Langa meat stalls get an upgrade
UNATHIOBOSE
Life will never be the same for meat vendors at Rhodes Street near MaXhoseni Flats in Langa after their stalls were renovated.
At least four stalls benefited from the initiative spearheaded by AfriFOODLinks. AfriFOODlinks is a European Union funded project that aims to improve food and nutrition security while delivering positive outcomes for climate and the environment.
The project started on Monday 7 July and is expected to be completed at the end of this month.
One of the beneficiaries, who introduced herself as MaMqwathi, said she has been working in the area for more than 15 years. She said the project came at the right time as they needed shelter to keep warm
on rainy and wet days.
“I’m so happy with the new development.
When the councillor approached us telling us about this projec, we were all over the moon They promised to rebuild our stalls and even build a fireplace to cook our meat.
“They will also build a storage to keep our stuff, like buckets, wood etc,” said MaMqwathi
She said the project also provided them with a stipend while construction work continued.
“They estimated the amount of money that we are making a week and counted it. They paid for all three weeks,” she said.
Ward 51 councillor Lwazi Pakade said the new structure will change the perspective about the business and be an enhancement to the customers.
“Sometimes the appearance is important, particularly in business We believe that

Floodvictimsissued
UNATHIOBOSE
Ward 86 councillor Xolani Dini donated kits to flood victims in both Nkanini and Ezinkomeni informal settlements in Khayamandi, on Tuesday 8 July.
At least 686 shacks were affected during the heavy rains. The kit includes a packet of nails and canvas
One of the victims Nosithembele Mnaku from Ezinkomeni said she had to vacate her shack because of floods.
“My shack still has water as we speak. I’m waiting for the water to sink in before I put the sand to lift the floor. The councillor provided us with sand and gave us food parcels last week. Now he is giving us flood kits.”
The mother of two said it was the first time her shack was so flooded, and she was squatting
at her sister’s shack in Zola in the Strand area
Diniso, whose ward comprises Lwandle and Nomzamo in Strand, said the flood victims were still in recovery phase
He said some residents were still staying with friends and family as their shacks were still damp.
“Since the heavy rains started a few weeks ago we’ve been visiting the different communities assessing the conditions. Just last week, we provided sand, food parcels and blankets for the flood victims. What we are doing now is a continuation of providing a hand to the needy,” he added.
Diniso said no community hall had been open to accommodate flood victims
He described the conditions in the informal settlements as “disturbing”
by having new structures they will attract more
“And this area is one of the tourist at-
