The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has provisionally withdrawn charges against five of the six men accused of killing eight people and seriously injuring three others at a house in Kwazakhele, Gqeberha, in January 2023.
Five men arrested in connection with a mass shooting at a birthday party in Kwazakhele earlier in 2023 will remain in custody for at least another six months while the state continues its investigations into the matter.
The five men accused of turning a Kwazakhele birthday bash into a scene of chaos and bloodshed when they allegedly shot eight people and wounded three others, have abandoned their bail applications.
