Media Statement CAPE TOWN - The relentless investigation by members attached to the Provincial Organised Crime Investigation Unit led to a 40-year-old suspect handing himself over to SAPS after detectives were vehemently on his trail. On 16 February 2023 at 11:30 a shooting incident was reported at the corner of Magalies and Mandara Street, N2 Gateway, Delft. According to reports the suspects arrived at the housing construction site on foot and asked to speak with an unknown individual when he suddenly started shooting at the individuals on the site. One victim, 49-year-old Wendy Kloppers, died on the scene due to injuries sustained and a second victim, aged 40, sustained one gunshot to her arm. Western Cape Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Thembisile Patekile, hailed the investigation team for their outstanding work. He said the arrest of the suspect should send a strong message to other criminals that they will be hunted down and brought to book.
