BREAKING: A child and an adult have been killed in a horrifying shooting on Hime Street, Wentworth.

At least seven others were rushed to hospital after armed suspects opened fire on a group of people sitting outside a flat before chasing victims as they fled.

A massive manhunt is underway involving SAPS Wentworth, PT Alarms, the Umlazi TRT, Metro Police K9, Airwing and several private security units. Police say gang- and drug-related turf wars cannot be ruled out.

Residents have expressed shock and heartbreak online, calling for unity as violence in the area continues to escalate.

This is a developing story.

Al Falaah College marks another successful Pink Hijab day

Al Falaah College once again joined the global movement in a vibrant and heartfelt celebration of Pink Hijab Day on campus.

Introduced at the school in 2009, the initiative has grown into a significant annual event, led by Miss R. Sayed together with a dedicated team of educators and the group. Their commitment continues to drive awareness and compassion within the school community.

Learners and staff embraced the cause with enthusiasm, proudly wearing shades of pink to show solidarity with cancer fighters and survivors. The atmosphere was filled with unity and hope as the school community reflected on the importance of empathy, education and support.

“Each year, Pink Hijab Day reminds us of the power of unity, compassion, and service,” said one of the organisers. “It’s not just about wearing pink, it’s about standing together for a greater cause.”
Through this meaningful initiative, Al Falaah College continues to reinforce its commitment to community upliftment, health awareness and the values of faith and humanity.

Support the fighters. Admire the survivors. Honour the ones we’ve lost.
