Parliament’s Police Committee chair says mass shooting reflects SAPS systemic failures

# Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Police chairperson, Ian Cameron, says Friday’s mass shooting in Bishop Lavis, which left four people dead, highlights systemic failures in SAPS. Two gunmen opened fire inside a Reënberg Street home before fleeing in a getaway car. No arrests have been made. It’s the second mass killing on the same street in a week. He urged the Anti-Gang Unit to swiftly investigate as calls grow for urgent police reform and intelligence-driven responses.
