Two teenagers, aged 16 and 18, have been arrested in connection with an attack on three Democratic Alliance (DA) Members of Parliament (MPs) in Philippi, Cape Town. The MPs—Ian Cameron, chair of Parliament's police portfolio committee, along with colleagues Lisa-Maré Schickerling and Nicholas Gotsell—were ambushed by a gang while returning from an oversight visit to the South African Police Service (SAPS) training academy. Prior to the attack, the MPs were reportedly warned of the impending danger. During the incident, Ian Cameron fired shots to fend off the attackers amid an attempted hijacking. The arrests were made by Western Cape serious and violent crime detectives, with one suspect apprehended in Browns Farm. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of public officials during official duties.
