R.I.P|| Two Men Were Having A Conversation Inside A Vehicle When Hitmen Pulled Up And Shot Them Dead

According to our report, fear and grief gripped the Cape Flats once again on Monday morning after two men were brutally gunned down inside a silver Volkswagen Polo on Abrahams Avenue, Steenberg. The deadly hit, which unfolded just after 9 a.m., has reignited growing concerns over the wave of gang-related killings terrorising local communities.

Eyewitnesses said the quiet morning was shattered when a dark sedan pulled up beside the victims’ car at a stop street. Two masked men jumped out and opened fire with 9mm pistols at point-blank range. Within seconds, the Polo’s windscreen was riddled with bullets. When paramedics arrived, both men were already dead. A female passenger in her late 20s escaped with only a graze wound to her arm — a narrow brush with death.

According to sources, the victims have been identified as Rashied “Rash” Jacobs (29) and Faizel “Fizzy” Adams (32), alleged members of the Americans gang’s “28s” faction. Jacobs, a father of three, had survived a previous assassination attempt last year, while Adams was reportedly out on bail for firearm possession.

As investigations continue, police and Anti-Gang Unit officers have raided several suspected safe houses in Heathfield and Retreat, but no arrests have been made so far. The suspected getaway vehicle — a dark Toyota Corolla — was last seen speeding toward Military Road.

Residents say they are living in fear, watching playgrounds turn into crime scenes and neighbours disappear overnight. For many, this latest shooting is another chilling reminder that in parts of Cape Town, survival often comes down to luck and timing.
