Residents of a plush Gqeberha neighbourhood are furious over an alleged funeral "after tears" on Sunday where men, seemingly carrying AK-47s, marched up and down the street, only metres from a beach frequented by children. 

A resident of Bluewater Drive in Bluewater Bay who asked to remain anonymous told News24 the "after tears" was a mess, with two gunmen walking up and down and cars blocking the street, trapping residents inside.

The resident claims there was loud music and public urination that was caught on camera. He also claims the armed men were civilians.
