The incident left several people dead and others injured, sending shockwaves through the community and renewing fears about safety in the area.
Ward 17 candidate for the African Independent Congress, Peter Rafferty, has condemned the attack, describing it as a senseless act of violence that has devastated families and traumatised residents.
