Mariannhill community commends killing of nine suspected gang members by police
Residents of Desai in Mariannhill, KwaZulu-Natal, who have"long suffered terrorism and unmitigated criminality" at the hands of gang members, can breathe a sigh of relief after nine suspected gang members were killed in a shootout with police on Wednesday.
Community leaders said the dark cloud over the densely populated area on the outskirts of Durban lifted as residents tried to come to terms with what had happened when the nine armed gunmen, who were part of a larger group of 11, became engaged in a brazen shootout with the police. KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said police were searching for the 11 gunmen after receiving multiple complaints from residents about violent crimes, including murder and sexual assault, in the area.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
