Glebelands killings: Why there are no convictions
Durban – Out of the 92 people that have been murdered at the notorious Glebelands Hostel in Umlazi, south of Durban, not even a single murderer has been convicted.
KwaZulu-Natal police claim that the lack of convictions has to do with “witnesses that are not willing to co-operate with our investigating officers”.
A woman, 30, was the latest victim to be shot dead at the hostel on Thursday night at about 20:30.
She was inside her residential block when she was shot by an unknown gunman "who managed to flee the scene without being observed by any resident".
Last week, a 32-year-old man died upon arrival at hospital after he was shot several times in the head, while a 53-year-old woman was killed later in her tuck-shop after two men acting as customers approached her.
