“I wish to send my condolences to the family of the deceased, sadly he leaves behind an eight-year-old boy. As the council we discourage such behavior among young people and we encourage them to live in harmony and unity. I waited there until the body was removed around 17:00 and wish to thank the SAPS, who did an amazing job.
“The council and SAPS will put together measures for incidents like these not to happen again as we are nearing the festive season,” said Cllr Chame.
