Her body was found close to a known drug and crime hotspot.<\/p>\n<p><em>Radio Islam International<\/em> discusses the latest devastating crime in this troubled community with Activist Dereleen James.<\/p>\n<p>The community of Eldorado Park was hopeful during the 73 days camp as a peaceful protest at the SAPS station, of which no fatalities were reported. However, the hope was followed by saddening news that the life of an innocent woman was taken.<\/p>\n<p>According to James, the B Section flats are a known hotspot where drugs are sold under a tree openly. Visible policing, precisely at that hotspot, was communicated and requested from police on several occasions but has fallen on deaf ears.<\/p>\n<p>She said family members of the deceased expressed their grievances towards the two-hour wait for SAPS to arrive.<\/p>\n<p>SAPS has advised that additional resources were deployed to the Eldorado Park community. However, James argues, &#8220;If there are additional resources, why is it that SAPS are still taking so long to attend to a crime scene.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, many people will gather as a community and return to where Shonees was murdered.<\/p>\n<p>According to James, the visit serves the drug dealers with notices following a candlelight vigil earlier this evening.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the interview with Anissa Essack and Activist Dereleen James on Radio Islam&#8217;s podcast below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"29-year-old mother of 4 gunned down in Eldorado Park by Radio Islam International\" width=\"1080\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1388495737&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;maxwidth=1080\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neelam Rahim |\u00a0neelam@radioislam.co.za 2 min read 22 November 2022 | 10:22 pm CAT Tensions are on the rise again in the community of Eldorado Park as the community mourns the loss of the 29-year-old mother of four, Shonees van Wyk, who was shot dead on Sunday morning.
