Durban residents living in fear as gang violence escalates sabcnews

Residents of Wentworth, south of, say they are living in fear, following the escalation of gang-related violence in recent weeks.

Ward Committee member for Safety Clint Leverton alleges that shooting incidents have been a common occurrence in the Wentworth area for several years. Leverton says the on-going violence is claiming the lives of innocent people, who get caught in the cross-fire. “On Wednesday, there was a shootout which ensued and one person was shot and another one was run-over by a getaway vehicle, which we hear eventually passed away in hospital. The other shooting which took place was on Monday where a man was shot in the leg while walking up the road going to the shop. Apparently, last week Friday a man who was sitting in his yard there was gun violence going on between two rivals and sitting in his yard he was shot dead.
