Cape Town – It was a bloody Easter for Manenberg residents as gang violence suddenly broke out on Saturday, leaving an 8-year-old boy with a shot to the head, and still recovering in hospital.

The Grade 2 Edendale Primary School pupil is still in ICU at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, his mother Nazeema said yesterday. “They can’t tell me everything yet but I will see the social workers . I am still in shock. In the week it was still ceasefire and all of a sudden they started shooting.

“The saddest part is it happened where he lives, the kids play in the road everyday. He doesn’t deserve this.”“It happened very unexpectedly because there was a ceasefire. The shooting has been going on for months because the gangs are having internal fights and against their rivals. It is quiet now but we cannot say how long it will remain that way.”“The entire Cape Flats is under gang warfare and its mostly over drug turf.
