Another Nelson Mandela Bay prosecutor targeted in brazen shooting
Shots were fired at a prosecutor and his family outside their home in Tiryville, Kariega, in a brazen attack reminiscent of the killing of Tracy Brown last month. High-ranking police and government officials have voiced their distress after shots were fired at a prosecutor and his family in Nelson Mandela Bay in the early hours of Monday morning. While the prosecutor and his family escaped the harrowing event unscathed, the incident bore an alarming similarity to the shooting that claimed the life of Gqeberha prosecutor Tracy Brown last month. According to a police report, the prosecutor and his family arrived at their home in Tiryville, Kariega, at about 1.15am on Monday. While they were in the prosecutor's car outside the gate of their property, they were approached by four people. One of them pulled out a firearm and fired multiple shots at the car, and the group fled on foot. The police said the motive for the attack was yet to be determined and formed part of 'a critical line of investigation'. Detectives at the Kamesh police station are investigating a case of attempted murder. The identities of the prosecutor and his family are being withheld for their safety. On July 31, Regional Court prosecutor Tracy Brown was shot in the driveway of her home in Young Park, Gqeberha. She was in her car when four masked men approached, shot several rounds into her car, and fled in a VW Polo. Brown was rushed to hospital, where she died from her wounds. Her death, which was widely regarded as a targeted murder, rocked the Nelson Mandela Bay legal fraternity and put the safety of court officials under the spotlight. In April, another Eastern Cape prosecutor, Elona Sombulula, was shot and killed in Ngcobo. Police response 'The brazen attack on an officer of the court and his family is an attack on the very foundation of our justice system. We will not tolerate such acts of intimidation and violence. We are confident that we will apprehend those responsible,' said the acting Eastern Cape police commissioner, Major General Thandiswa Kupiso, after Monday's incident. A spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority, Luxolo Tyali, said they would not comment on the matter at this stage due to the sensitive nature of the incident. The Eastern Cape MEC for community safety, Xolile Nqatha, said, 'This is a matter of great concern which cannot be taken lightly. It cannot be allowed that criminals target our prosecutors so openly and repeatedly. Serious action must be taken.' At Brown's memorial service in Gqeberha two weeks ago, Nqatha said the investigation into her murder was bearing fruit, and arrests were imminent. No arrests have been made, but on Tuesday, Nqatha said suspects would be apprehended soon. The police have urged anyone with information about Monday's attempted murder to contact the investigating officer, Detective Warrant Officer Heinrich Swanepoel, on 071 475 2294. Alternatively, they can call Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or contact their nearest police station. DM

Ian Cameron, DA MPs injured in brutal ‘targeted' attack
Ian Cameron injured in smash and grab. Images via X: @iancameron23 Police Portfolio Committee Chairperson Ian Cameron has recounted a horrific smash and grab he experienced alongside two fellow Democratic Alliance (DA) MPs in Cape Town's Philippi township. The trio – which includes Lisa Schickerling and Nicholas Gotsell – were ambushed after visiting a nearby SAPS training academy. IAN CAMERON AND OTHER DA MPS INJURED IN CAPE TOWN SMASH AND GRAB On Tuesday, 19 August, Ian Cameron and fellow DA MPs Lisa Schickerling and Nicholas Gotsell escaped a smash-and-grab after conducting official duties. ADVERTISEMENT The trio were returning from a surprise inspection of the SAPS Philippi Training Academy when their vehicle was ambushed. A group of unknown suspects broke the window of their car with bricks and brutally assaulted Cameron and his colleagues. The quick-thinking Police Portfolio Committee Chairperson retaliated with his own firearm, firing shots at the suspects. A bloodied Cameron suffered broken teeth and required facial stitches. His colleagues sustained minor head and neck injuries. Ian Cameron believes that it was a targeted attack on himself. He posted on his X account: 'This was a serious and deliberate attack, and it underscores the risks faced during oversight work. But incidents like this will not deter us. We remain determined to carry out our responsibility to ensure accountability and safety. ADVERTISEMENT According to authorities, the motive for the attack is not yet known. 'OUT OF CONTROL CRIME' The DA condemned the attack, calling on police to increase their presence in high-crime areas. The party's Chief Whip, George Michalakis, told IOL: 'This incident is a portrayal of the out-of-control crime that South Africans face daily. No one is exempt from it. 'We again call on the Minister of Police to properly resource SAPS in crime-ridden areas such as Philippi.' Ian Cameron is lucky to be alive after a horrific smash and grab. Image via X: @iancameron23 Parliament also denounced the criminal attack. 'The Presiding Officers express deep concern, noting that such shocking acts of criminality not only endanger the lives of elected representatives and members of the public but also undermine Parliament's constitutional duty to hold organs of state accountable through oversight', read its statement. HELEN ZILLE'S NARROW ESCAPE Ian Cameron isn't the only DA member to fall victim to a brutal attack. In 2003, Helen Zille narrowly escaped death when her Corsa was shot at in an attempted hijacking in Khayelitsha. At the time of the attack, Helen was driving home one evening after doing constituency work in the informal settlement. The bullet struck the back of her car seat, with Helen claiming that the springs of the cushion likely shielded her. DO YOU THINK IAN CAMERON'S SMASH AND GRAB WAS A RANDOM OR TARGETED ATTACK?

Traffic officers and colleagues bring hope to Khutsong disability home
A group of traffic officers and other officials joined forces this week to bring relief to a Khutsong care facility. On August 18, traffic officers from the Merafong City Local Municipality, Rand West, and Mogale City were joined by members of the Gauteng Traffic Police, SAPS, Gauteng Traffic Wardens, and officials from the Department of Correctional Services for a special outreach programme. The group gathered at the Zanele Mtshali Disability Home in Khutsong, also known as the Zani Home, as part of the Western Corridor Women's Month celebrations. They donated food, toiletries, and blankets to the facility, which provides care for severely disabled residents, many of whom have no other place to call home. Located near the Khutsong Community Hall, the Zanele Mtshali Disability Home has long served as a vital refuge for the vulnerable. The donation was welcomed as a meaningful gesture of solidarity and community support.
