Recent mass shootings
South Africa has seen an increase in mass shootings in the past few months, with the most recent taking place on Monday at a tavern in the Jerusalema informal settlement, located in Gauteng.
It is believed that a group of unknown suspects stormed into the tavern on the West Rand and started randomly shooting at the patrons, killing four – including the tavern owner.
In another incident on 7 October, three people were shot dead and three wounded when gunmen stormed in a tavern in Bityi, Eastern Cape.
Meanwhile, the case against the five suspects arrested in connection with the Soweto tavern shooting will return to the Orlando Magistrate’s Court on 8 November.
The matter was postponed by the court in order for the state to finalize the charge sheet.
The suspects have been charged with 19 counts of murder, multiple counts of attempted murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, and defeating the ends of justice.
They were arrested following a shooting at the Mdlalose Tavern in Nomzamo Park, Orlando.
The gunmen used an AK47 and pistols leaving 16 people dead.
According to Police Minister Bheki Cele, more than 130 empty cartridges were found at the crime scene.
