Separate mass shootings in South Africa townships leave at least 27 people dead
Two mass shootings in South Africa's major cities have claimed at least 27 lives, police reported on Sunday.
In Wedela, a township southwest of Johannesburg, 17 individuals were killed when armed suspects opened fire on a bar late Saturday night. Police are still searching for the gunmen responsible.
Separately, 10 people lost their lives in an attack at a store in Lwandle, near Cape Town, around 1 a.m. Sunday. Like the previous incident, law enforcement has not made any arrests yet and is actively seeking multiple shooters in both cases.
