The incident resulted in what’s called a 72-hour activation being launched, while the motive remains under investigation.
It’s understood a traditional ceremony was held in the area at the time when the shooting occurred.
Police Minister Bheki Cele s visited the crime-ridden township the following day.
The police’s Joseph Swartbooi said, “Our seasoned detectives are working around the clock to find the perpetrators who are responsible for this mass shooting incident in Gugulethu, and to solve the case. The suspects who fled the scene are still on the run and are yet to be arrested. Anyone with information can anonymously call Crime Stop on 08600 10111.”
Meanwhile, police are searching for the brazen killers of a motorist in the area.
The victim was seated inside his vehicle when the gunmen fired multiple shots killing him instantly.
The attackers fled the scene, and no arrests were made.
Swartbooi said Muizenberg officers are probing a case of murder.
