Five members of a gun-toting gang from Kwamashu have been arrested, with a search for additional suspects underway.

These individuals were captured in a viral video firing gunshots indiscriminately at the KwaMashu hostel.

They appeared in the Ntuzuma Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, 22/08, following their earlier arrest. Upon apprehension, three firearms and a hijacked vehicle were recovered from their possession.

Despite one suspect attempting to shoot at the police, law enforcement officers managed to overpower him and effect his arrest.

The gang members are believed to be connected to a string of criminal activities including murders, carjackings, and robberies in various areas such as Dumisani Makhaye Highway, Kwamashu, Inanda, Ntuzuma, and neighboring townships.
