PAGAD MAN’s SON DIES

THE son of a prominent Pagad member has died after being shot while playing soccer in Mitchell’s Plain, Cape Town, on Sunday. Moegamat Heuwel (17), son of People Against Gangsterism and Drugs member Abdul Heuwel, died in Groote Schuur Hospital early on Wednesday morning. He was shot four times, in the head and body, by two men who simply walked onto the field. Police believe they were members of the Americans gang. The motive for the attack is unknown, but may well be linked to Abdul Heuwel’s membership of Pagad, a vigilante organisation.
