27 Killed in Two Mass Shootings in South Africa
Police said eight gunmen used assault rifles and pistols in the Wedela attack, and no arrests have been made in either shooting.
- On Saturday night, eight gunmen armed with AK-47 rifles and pistols killed 17 people and wounded 15 others at a tavern in Wedela, southwest of Johannesburg, Gauteng police said.
- Hours later, a separate mass shooting at an entertainment venue in Lwandle, near Cape Town, left 10 people dead and 11 wounded, contributing to a combined death toll of at least 27.
- Deputy Provincial Police Commissioner Major General Fred Kekana stated the Wedela attack appeared to be retaliation for a tavern incident last month, as detectives continue their manhunt for the eight unidentified suspects.
- The South African Police Service has established a multidisciplinary team to track the suspects, while authorities and the Democratic Alliance offered rewards totaling $56,000 for information leading to arrests.
- These massacres heighten scrutiny of government security policies ahead of November municipal elections, as South Africa struggles with roughly 60 murders daily and persistent violence linked to gang rivalries.
