================================
Nico Smit, the father of the two young people who have not been identified, writes on Sunday March 9 2014:
"Nico : "The shooting of our children happened yesterday in Glen Vista. My son is in ICU in serious condition. He was shot between his shoulder blades, through his lung, and one bullet ricochet into his sexual organs and the wound is still too swollen to remove the bullet with surgery. It is suspected that his spine has also been damaged. The girl's upper-leg was crushed - It is now believed that the attack-gang fired about 6 bullets at the (fleeing) children. We will establish more details later:

Residents in and around Vista Drive, Ferox Drive, Basson Drive and surrounds on the Glenvista Koppie are requested to check your cameras between 15:30 - 16:30 for the suspects. 3-4 black males - one with a Bafana Bafana shirt or track top and one with a red shirt fled on foot. Possibly working with a yellow/green old model Peaugeot/Citroen. The vehicle may have different colour panels. Please speak to your domestic staff and gardeners if they have any information.
