Mense had to run for their lives after gunmen opened fire outside Chikro’s near Lentegeur Train Station late on Friday afternoon, killing a man.
One man, identified only as Apie Yakkie, allegedly a member of the Junior Cisco Yakkies (JCY) in Lentegeur was shot multiple times and died on the scene.
The shooters jumped into a car and sped off towards Beacon Valley.
A worker at one of the wholesalers in the industrial area claims Apie sometimes demanded money from the shop owners and robbed people.
“I was just here at Chikro’s to get a burger and then I saw people running and he was shot here outside the entrance,” the 23-year-old witness said.
Police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk confirms the incident, adding: “The motive for the attack is unknown. No persons have been arrested.”
