WHO is next? When are the killings going to end? These are some questions as the murder of well-known people in Tshwane continues. This after Zoro, or Moruti (48), as he was well known in Mamelodi, Tshwane, was killed in a hail of bullets on Friday, 10 February.
Zoro is known to have been friends with the late Prince “Mongol” Mahlangu, who was killed last year. Prince was shot dead outside Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Sunnyside in September.
In another incident, businessman and musician DJ Sumbody, whose real name was Oupa Sefoka and was fondly known as Mayor wa Pitori, was also killed in a hail of bullets on 20 December. At about midnight, he was dead on the corner of Woodmead Drive and Woodland Drive in Joburg while travelling with his driver. They both died on the scene.
Another shocking and recent death in Tshwane was that of Bacardi singer Vusi Ma R5 from Mabopane, Tshwane.
The 34-year-old, whose real name was Itumeleng Mosoeu, was gunned down on 30 January. He was known for his most loved bacardi songs, Tse Nnyane and Thaba (Ke Changitse), and for producing talent from ekasi such as Phindimaphendula, Matenas and Nelly Mawaza.
There was also news of a local football club owner and businessman known as Mainline, who was shot along with well-known dancer and sangoma Lesego Sonti, known as Sonti Lee, outside a tavern in Klipgat, North West, in November.
All these murders are still under investigation by the police. Mzansi hopes these shootings will be settled soon so they can walk in the streets freely without fearing for their lives.
