A troubling turn of events unfolded on Sunday, November 3, when well-known businessman Mark Lifman was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Garden Route Mall in George.

At 57 years old, Lifman’s death has sent shockwaves through the community, particularly given his alleged connections to organized crime in South Africa.

Details of the Shooting

The incident occurred around 11:30 AM, according to reports from the Knysna-Plett Herald.

Eyewitnesses noted that the suspects quickly fled the scene in a white Volkswagen Polo with a CY registration number.

Disturbing images circulating on social media show Lifman’s body covered with an emergency blanket, lying behind a police cordon.

As of now, authorities have not made any arrests related to this incident.

Legal Troubles

Lifman was no stranger to legal issues, facing several serious charges, including murder, attempted murder, money laundering, and various gang-related offenses.

He was involved in a high-profile case alongside Andre Naude, the owner of a security company, and Jerome ‘Donkie’ Booysen, a reputed leader of the Sexy Boys gang.

This group is linked to ongoing turf wars over nightclub control, which have become a notable aspect of South Africa’s criminal landscape.

The charges against Lifman also include involvement in the murder of Brian Wainstein, infamously known as the ‘Steroid King,’ who was shot and killed in his home in Constantia in August 2017.

As this situation continues to develop, updates will be provided.

What lies ahead for this story remains uncertain, but the implications are significant for the individuals involved and the broader community.
