Two gang affiliates have received lengthy sentences in the Port Elizabeth High Court and Regional Court respectively.
Police Spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu says in the PE Regional court, 34-year-old gang affiliate Shadwin Walton was sentenced to eight years imprisonment for the illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Colonel Naidu says that at the time of his arrest in October 2016, Walton was out on parole for 18-years for rape and that sentence would have been completed in 2025.
Walton will now first serve his remaining sentence for rape and his 8-years on the illegal possession of firearm and ammunition will not run concurrently with that sentence.
Colonel Naidu says Walton will only start serving the new 8-year-sentence on completion of his rape sentence in 2025.
Meanwhile, the 32-year-old Marvin Thomas was sentenced to an effective 25-years in prison in the PE High Court on Wednesday on several charges which included murder, three cases of attempted murder and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
This follows a shooting incident in Gelvandale in January last year in which 50-year-old Sharon Dageford was struck in the cheek and fatally wounded.
