He allegedly told her he didn’t have money and when she said she would make a plan on her own, the trigger-happy tjommie fetched a gun from the kitchen and shot her in the head. She was rushed to Retreat Day Hospital where she was declared dead while the gang cleaned the crime scene.

Between May and October 2018, the gang allegedly killed eight people, including a 74-year-old oupa, and attempted to kill six more. Charra was subsequently found guilty of two murders and six attempted murders and sentenced to a total of 121 years.

The court documents also show that two of his fellow gangsters, Simone Gordon and Jamiel Daniel, had tried to smuggle drugs and cellphones to convicts appearing at Muizenberg Magistrate’s Court. The duo were busted by the South Africa Police’s Anti-gang Unit (AGU) and charged with drug trafficking after their car was searched as they sat outside the court building.

It was discovered that they had placed tik, Mandrax pille and cocaine inside packets of sugar and instant porridge that had been opened and resealed.

Just as the police welcomed the lengthy jail sentences imposed on these three key figures of the Flakka gang who wreaked havoc in Muizenberg, more suspected gang-related shootings occurred in Muizenberg over the weekend.

News24 reports that the Western Cape police are on the hunt for gunmen who killed five people and injured four others in at least four different shootings.

In the first incident, the bodies of a 15-year-old boy, an 18-year-old man, and a 25-year-old woman were found in the early hours of Saturday in Drakensberg Road, Hillview, Muizenberg. Hours later, another 15-year-old boy was killed, and a man was wounded in Woodpecker Street just after 14:30. Then in St Patricks Street, gunmen were believed to have opened fire on a group of people, wounding three men, police said. In that case,  three men were transported to the hospital while a 47-year-old man was found dead at Hillview Heights in Muizenberg

Acting chairperson of the Muizenberg community policing forum, Ashwin Abrahams, said the area was “volatile” and people were living in fear, especially those who walk to school or take public transport.

“The area has been relatively quiet for the past few months, then all of a sudden, this influx of gangs moved in and started shooting and causing mayhem in the area,” he said, adding that the Junky Funky Kids (JFKs) and the Flakka gang were at war with each other over drugs, money, ammunition, turf and leadership.

According to police, no arrests have been made, and the motives form part of an ongoing investigation.
