Technology aids efforts to track Wedela shooting suspects: Ramaphosa

Ramaphosa says the identification of the suspects provides police with crucial leads

President Cyril Ramaphosa has stated that technology has been instrumental in assisting police in identifying the eight suspects wanted for the fatal shooting that occurred in Wedela on the West Rand. The incident, which took place early Sunday morning, left 17 people dead and 15 others injured when a group of eight men armed with AK-47s and pistols opened fire on patrons at a tavern.

In a recent statement, Ramaphosa emphasized the importance of curbing violent crime in South Africa. He highlighted how technology is currently aiding law enforcement in tracking down the suspected gunmen, providing a significant lead in the ongoing investigation. The president stressed that there is an urgent need to bring down criminality throughout the country, as no one should feel unsafe in their own nation.
