Teen killed in suspected gang initiation 





CAPE TOWN - Western Cape police are asking the public to help them apprehend the murderer of Litha Govuza.
The 19-year-old was shot and killed last month outside a spaza shop.
His death is believed to have been a gang initiation for emerging extortionists.
Litha's family has slammed police for their poor response, with no arrests made nearly a month after the murder.
The SAPS has released this image in hopes of catching the shooter.
