CRIME SCENE: Khayelitsha, Cape Town: Another Western Cape police captain has been shot by thugs.

Captain Zamani Mzayiya was shot in Knysna.

According to Sergeant Wesley Twigg, a media liaison officer for the Western Cape police, the officer was shot and wounded on Tuesday morning, 1 September at about 06:50 in Ntlazane Street, Nkanini, Harare,  

“Harare police registered attempted murder and malicious damage to property cases for investigation following the shooting incident on Tuesday morning  in which a police captain was shot and wounded.

“Police vehicles were also damaged during the shooting. The officer was transported to a medical facility for treatment.  We can confirm that two adult males were arrested,” said Twigg.

This is the second police captain to be shot in a week. Last Wednesday, 26 August 2026 Captain Zamani Mzayiya, who was part of the Western Cape Provincial Tactical Response Team and deployed in Knysna as part of investigations into the murder of councillor and former Knysna mayor, Aubrey Tsengwa, died in a shooting incident in the popular holiday town.
