A man was shot dead in a park in Luzuko in Gugulethu, hours after becoming a father to a baby boy.
Groups of fellow Ghanaians gathered at the park, just off Lansdowne Road, where the 35-year-old man's body lay.
Police spokeswoman Nondumiso Paul said the victim and a friend had received a phone call from a woman, asking them to meet her at a garage.
As they walked across the park, two men approached them.
One of the suspects pointed his gun at the pair and fired shots. The Ghanaian man was hit in the head and died instantly.
The attackers ran to a getaway "cockroach" taxi, and fled, said Paul.
Paul would not confirm if the murder was related to xenophobic violence.
