Four suspects aged between 40 and 55 are expected to appear in the New Brighton Magistrate’s Court on Monday following an alleged mob justice incident in Kwazakhele that left two men dead and two others injured.
The incident occurred on Friday, 6 November 2026, in Ndongeni Street, where police responded to reports of people being assaulted at approximately 09:38.
On arrival, officers found two men, aged 41 and 30, with multiple injuries. A 42-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman had also sustained injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the four victims had allegedly been accused of involvement in robberies and housebreakings in the area.
Despite efforts to obtain medical assistance, the two men succumbed to their injuries at the scene.
Police subsequently arrested four men in connection with the incident. They are expected to face two counts of murder and two counts of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
Acting Nelson Mandela Bay District Commissioner Brigadier Loyiso Ngalo condemned the incident, warning communities against taking the law into their own hands.
“Vigilantism has no place in our communities. No person has the right to assault or kill another individual based on allegations of criminal activity,” said Ngalo.
