Five months after Norman “Afzal” Simons, the man dubbed the Station Strangler, was granted parole after being imprisoned for 28 years, activists and police forums said new serial killers were on the prowl on the Cape Flats: gangsters killing children every day.
These groups said Simons was the least of their worries, and attention should be focused on the murder of children.
This comes just days after Zubair Jacobs, 7, was shot and killed while playing outside his home in Eastridge, Mitchells Plain earlier this week.
