TEENAGERS WOUNDED IN GANG ATTACK

TWO teenagers were seriously wounded when a gunman thought to be a member of the Americans gang opened fire on two rival gangsters in Manenberg on the Cape Flats on Tuesday. Police spokeswoman Superintendent Nina Kirsten said the lone gunman walked into the courtyard of a block of flats in Manenberg and opened fire. Mogammat de Wet (16) was hit in the head and Riaan Martin (14) in the mouth. The block of flats in question is thought to be a stranglehold of the Hard Livings gang.
