Five weeks after alleged underworld figure André Naude was murdered, police have confirmed no arrests have been made.

Police spokesperson, FC van Wyk, said: “Kindly be advised that the matter you are referring to is still under investigation. There are no new developments to report to the media at this stage.”

Naude was shot and killed in a hail of bullets on June 12 in Voortrekker Road, Parow.

Police said he had been in the company of friends when he was ambushed by gunmen inside a vehicle.

Naude, 55, died at the scene while a 61-year-old man was wounded and two others aged 45 and 55 were unharmed.

IOL reported that at the weekend, two lives were lost during a shooting in Voortrekker Road in Parow.

It is understood that a gunman in a silver VW Polo had opened fire.

Police spokesperson, Joseph Swartbooi, said two persons were killed and two others left wounded during the shooting.

Naude was no stranger to controversy and was murdered just months after his apparent business partner, Mark Lifman was gunned down in a parking lot in George.

Both were charged with the murder of Brain Wainstein, known as the Steroid King.

Naude was also friends with alleged leader of the Sexy Boys, Jerome “Donkie” Booysen.

Booysen and his so-called associates visited the scene of Naude’s murder.
