Cape Town – A Cape Town mother is shocked after the death of her only children, who were shot and killed.
Charlton Witbooi, 16, and Peter De Villiers, 23, were driving home from the store where they had bought a liter of milk for their mother when gunmen opened fire on them and shot them in the body on Geranium Street in Uitsig. .
His devastated mother, Sharon Witbooi, 44, a member of the Western Cape Missing Persons Unit (WCMPU), told the African News Agency (ANA) that her world collapsed on Sunday shortly after 9 p.m.
“At approximately 8.45pm, Peter was at the house. Charlton visited me over the weekend as he lived in Delft with his uncle.
“Peter came in after I sent him to the store, but he came back without the milk. He said he was going to get the milk and take Charlton home, ”Sharon said.
The mother said that her children knew that the curfew was at 9 pm They told her that as soon as Peter arrived at the local store, he ran into his brother, who was standing at the store with his friends.
“On the way home, two guys are said to have turned the corner. He stopped and one pulled out a gun. A shot was fired before drawing the weapon.
“They told me Peter stood in front of his friends and yelled at Charlton to run.
“While Charlton was trying to run, he fell flat on his face and when he got to his feet, one of the guys grabbed him, grabbed him and shot him in the head,” Sharon explained crying.
He said Peter was shot in the front of the body and in the head.
The mother said she would understand if her sons were gangsters, but they weren’t, and she is devastated that her sons were brutally murdered.
“I blame myself. Charlton wanted me to pick up his phone on Saturday to go home, but I couldn’t. Those kids were my everything. I have nothing.
“Were they together and only they were injured? Why only my children? I will never get over this, not just one, but both. Why? “She wailed.
Sharon said the cake she had ordered for one of her children was still on the kitchen counter and the chicken she had fried for them was still there, waiting.
“If someone wanted to depress me, they did it right. It may not be now, but I’ll get up. It’s what my boys would have wanted, ”Sharon said.
The mother remembered playing dominoes with Peter every day, and Charlton sang a song to him every time she was mad at him.
She said her children were very involved in WCMPU and volunteered whenever they could.
The provincial police spokesman, Colonel André Traut, confirmed the shooting.
“The circumstances surrounding the deaths of two men are under investigation after they were shot and killed on Sunday around 9.50pm on Geranium Street in Uitsig, Ravensmead,” Traut said.
A memorial service will be held for Charlton and Peter on Thursday. The community has planned a march for Saturday against these senseless killings.
