Chairperson of the Mitchell’s Plain community policing forum Norman Jantjes told TimesLIVE the crime scene suggested whoever was responsible intended to make a statement.
“It seems the body was dumped at the corner, but the murder was not committed last night as witnesses said the body was smelling and you could see the wounds were dried.
“These brutal murders happen occasionally within the area, and it is unfortunate people stoop to this level,” Jantjes said.
Mitchells Plain community stakeholders have asked the City of Cape Town to install CCTV cameras within known hotspot areas to help combat crime and investigate incidents.
“We trust the community will stand together to highlight the issue of crime and ask mothers to be aware of their children’s whereabouts and involvements,” said Jantjes.
