Police in Western Cape investigate murders linked to Mossel Bay unrest.
Western Cape police are investigating three murders linked to recent unrest in KwaNonqaba, Mossel Bay, where two Mozambican nationals and an 19-year-old South African were killed following violent incidents that left dozens displaced.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Novela Potelwa said violence erupted on Friday, May 29, when a group of people allegedly set about 55 shacks alight in the Asla Park informal settlement in KwaNonqaba.
According to police, George Public Order Police officers, supported by local police, firefighters and disaster management teams, responded to the unrest and managed to restore order.
"The police deployments with local fire services and disaster management teams quelled the situation that resulted in the displacement of a number of people," Potelwa said.
