Another triple shooting in Cape Town
The shooting happened late on Thursday night — a day after three men were shot dead and two were wounded by gunmen in Gugulethu.
Police spokesperson Col Andrè Traut said the victims of the latest attack were aged 29, 30 and 43.
'At about 10pm SAPS members were alerted to the scene in Ntlazane Road, where the bodies of the victims were discovered with multiple gunshot wounds. The motive for the attack is yet to be determined and all investigative avenues are being explored to uncover the circumstances surrounding the incident,' said Traut.
Detectives from the provincial serious and violent crime unit are investigating both incidents.

'Masterminds' who planned hit on DA's Nhlalayenza Ndlovu from prison arrested
Two alleged masterminds behind the December 2023 assassination of Umngeni local municipality DA councillor and chief whip Nhlalayenza Ndlovu are expected to appear in the Howick magistrate's court on Thursday. Police spokesperson Brig Athlenda Mathe said the political killings task team arrested a 56-year-old inkosi and a 26-year-old man, who allegedly co-ordinated the murder of the councillor from Pietermaritzburg prison. The pair face charges of conspiracy to commit murder, murder and possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition. They will appear with: a lleged hitman Zwelithini Buthelezi, 43, an induna (headman) in the Nxamalala tribal authority in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands; an induna (headman) in the Masobho Hlongwa, 31; and Khayelihle Shabalala, 31. Ndlovu was shot dead outside his home, in front of his wife, two children and a nanny. His family have since abandoned the home outside eMpophomeni. DA provincial leader Francois Rodgers said the DA had commissioned a forensic investigation last year which identified Buthelezi as one of the conspirators in Ndlovu's killing. He said when they presented evidence to police task teams they were ignored. TimesLIVE

Case dropped against Mduduzi Mnisi for Likhona Fose murder
The prosecution has dropped the case against murder accused Mduduzi Trevor Mnisi, who protested his innocence by telling police to pull his cellphone records to show his movements. He had been arrested for the murder of 14-year-old Likhona Fose two months ago. The Roodepoort magistrate's court previously heard Mnisi was allegedly linked to the crime through the statement of only one witness, who allegedly last saw the child alive with Mnisi. The witness was later described as uncooperative for failing to liaise with the investigating officer and prosecutor. Fose's mutilated body was discovered in a field in Durban Deep, Roodepoort, on June 1, a day after she went missing. Mnisi was released on parole in December 2018 after he was sentenced to 18 years' imprisonment for attempted murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances. During his bail application, Mnisi said he did not know the teenager. He testified he was with friends and had visited his girlfriend, who went to court to confirm this.
