Kwaad aunties from Manenberg gathered at Athlone Magistrate’s Court yesterday where they demanded justice for slain hawker Fadwah Gallie.
Weeks after the popular meisie was mercilessly gunned down while walking to a winkel with a friend, charges against the skollie accused of her murder are racking up.
Fadwah was shot in an alleged gang shooting on August 25.

During the shooting Fadwah and one of the alleged skelms were killed, while another bra was hurt and sent to hospital.
Nico “Millions” Stoffberg was gevang a week later while hiding in Athlone.
