Another shooting in the JHB CBD: two people shot- President cnr Polly Streets

Anti-crime activist Yusuf Abramjee reports two quick successive shootings in Johannesburg CBD on May 2, 2026: one fatal near Klein and De Villiers Streets, followed by two people shot at President and Polly Streets.

The attached video shows a high-angle view of a busy street intersection filled with cars, pedestrians, and a gathered crowd at the second scene, while the quoted post’s photo captures a body on the sidewalk near shops with bystanders and a traffic cone.

Public replies express alarm over repeated violence turning the CBD into a no-go zone, citing possible turf wars, weak law enforcement response, and calls for army deployment or better city management.
