According to eyewitness reports, one of the victims are believed to be a taxi driver and the target of the attack. The other victim had been caught in the crossfire.
Allen extends his sincerest condolences to anyone affected by yesterday’s incident.
“Regardless of the motive, which is unknown at this stage, these types of events should not occur in any area across the Western Cape or the country for that matter.”
The suspects fled the scene and no arrests have been made, however SAPS are following up on all leads.
“A social media post of someone who witnessed the incident has also been shared with me, and I’ve forwarded this to SAPS,” added Allen.
He concluded by calling for the immediate arrest of those responsible for the murders, stating that they clearly had no regard for life.
To ensure the safety of all locals and visitors during the province’s anticipated bumper tourism season, Allen said his department is in the process of activating its Tourism Safety Officers.
Anyone with any information regarding the incident is urged to contact all law enforcement agencies.
