Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Community leaders in South Africa\u2019s volatile Diepsloot township have absolved Zimbabweans in the shooting to death of two people in the area on Friday.<\/p>\n

In a statement, councillors Julius Maake of Ward 95 and Abraham Mabuke of Ward 113 said the two victims were shot by known assailants who are South Africans. Read the statement:<\/p>\n

We can confirm that 3 people got shot by known people. 2 died on the scene and the 3rd one sustained injuries. The third person was transported to the hospital for treatment under police guard.<\/p>\n

It is important to inform the community that this incident has nothing to do with foreign nationals. Police are following positive leads that will end in arrests.<\/p>\n

We are therefore appealing to our community members together with all leaders to give space for law enforcement agencies to deal with this matter without any interference.<\/p>\n

In due course, a report will be given. Working together we can build a better society.<\/p>\n

The shootings occurred just over two weeks after Zimbabwean domestic worker Elvis Nyathi was killed by a vigilante group in Diepsloot.<\/p>\n

Nyathi was abducted, tortured and killed in cold blood before his body was set on fire by the assailants.<\/p>\n

Seven suspects appeared in court on Friday facing charges of murder, attempted murder, assault with intent to cause bodily harm and abduction.<\/p>\n

They were all remanded in custody to Monday next week.<\/p>\n
