"Ti si pes": Obtoženi Katlehonga za množično streljanje na sodišču
Moški, obtožen vpletanja v množično streljanje v Katlehongu, se je pojavil na sodišču, kjer so ga prisotni posamezniki verbalno zlorabljali.
An 11-year-old girl was shot in the waist during a mass shooting in Katlehong, Ekurhuleni, on 13 October 2026, leaving a bullet lodged near her spine. The incident occurred as she was purchasing sweets at a local spaza shop. Her grandmother, Queen Mkhonto, heard gunshots and found her granddaughter injured. Grace Ndlovu, the girl, recounted hearing multiple blasts but did not see the shooter. A 14-year-old boy was also wounded, with the bullet passing through his hand. The shooting targeted ANC Youth League members attending a memorial nearby. Seven people were wounded, with two dying at the scene and two others succumbing to their injuries later in hospital. Among the survivors are two children, aged 11 and 12. Grace, after receiving treatment at a local clinic and being transferred to Germiston Hospital, has since returned home. Doctors are waiting for her wound to heal before attempting to remove the bullet. Fani John Sibeko, 46, surrendered to police shortly after the shooting and appeared in Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court on 15 October 2026. He faces nine charges, including four counts of murder, three of attempted murder, and unlawful discharge of a firearm. His bail application is scheduled for 22 October. The prosecution claims the attack was premeditated and is pursuing a Schedule 6 case. Grace described the experience as terrifying and expressed fear for the worst. Despite her injuries, she managed to move around the house, though sitting was painful. Her family used a pillow to help her sit comfortably. The X-ray revealed the bullet's position near her spine, causing intense heat sensations around her waist, extending to her lower abdomen and back. On 15 October, Grace received visits from neighborhood friends who came to see Mkhonto. The emotional impact on the family was profound, with Mkhonto recalling the devastation of seeing her grandchild wounded in the hospital. Grace, despite her pain, spoke clearly about the events of the day, detailing what she heard and felt during the incident.
