Hammarsdale massacre: Victim's family 'living in fear'

Speaking to Newswatch, she says her family has been living in fear since Friday night's horror attacks. 

Phumzile Kubheka's 20-year-old daughter, Hlengiwe, was one of six people who were gunned down at the Georgedale residence.

According to police, five suspects arrived at the home and asked for one of the victims. They then shot a man before opening fire on everyone inside.

Kubheka says the relatives are still in shock.

"We live in fear. Every time we hear dogs barking outside at night we're afraid, thinking we're going to hear footsteps and people will attack us. We're sad to have lost this number of young people at the same time - especially the girl who was going to be doing her final year - she was going to a be a police officer," she said. 

The other victims are Siyanda Kubheka, Nonhlanhla Mbhele, Sphamandla Mavundla, Mcebisi Gondwe and Sphelele Kubheka.
