Police Oversight and Community Safety MEC Reagen Allen says the province recorded some of the highest mass killings in the last two months.
The most recent incident saw three young men gunned down in Grabouw on Sunday night.
Police spokesperson André Traut said the victims were in their twenties.
“SAPS detectives attached to the Provincial Organised Crime Unit are probing the circumstances that left three male persons in their twenties with fatal gunshot wounds in Grabouw.
“Information at our disposal suggests that unknown gunmen opened fire at the victims at around 10.30 pm at Rooidakke in Grabouw, whereafter they fled the scene. The motive for the attack is yet to be determined.”
Allen said the latest mass murder was worrisome.
“That yet another mass killing has occurred is deeply worrying.
“September and October recorded some of the highest numbers in our province. SAPS intelligence has to start showing immediate improvements, as these killings cannot be left to continue unabated.
The killing added to the pile of mass shootings in the past few months.
In KTC, Gugulethu, on the evening of September 25, five people were killed while sitting inside two cars.
Five days later, four men and a woman were shot dead in Gugulethu.
Three men were killed at the Fountain Heads in Mfuleni.
On October 25, unidentified gunmen entered a shack in Intambane Street, Phola Park, Mfuleni, where seven men were present. Three of the men were killed.
Traut said anyone who can help trace the suspects or offer any information regarding the incident can contact Crime Stop on 0860010111.
