Once considered the safest beach in the Mother City, Clifton has been rocked by crime.
The latest has claimed a life of UCT student Mhleli Cebo Mbatha.
His friends were planning a huge birthday celebration for his 19th birthday next month but his life was cut short last Saturday night, when he was stabbed to death in a robbery at Clifton’s 3rd Beach.
“It’s very sad, it’s not good to send your child at school at the end of the day you coming back with the body. It’s not good,” said Mbatha’s father, Lindo Mbatha.
Mbatha’s friends are still in shock and disbelief.
“He was a people’s person and he was also conservative, but he was also like, he spoke his mind. He was a happy person,” said Siphiwe Mkhize.
Meanwhile, people working in Clifton are concerned about their safety.
No arrests have been made so far for Mbatha’s murder.
He will be laid to rest on Saturday in Dundee, KwaZulu-Natal.
