Durban – Six people were shot dead and four more wounded in a mass shooting at Solomon Tshuku Road, Site C in Khayelitsha in the Western Cape on Wednesday.
According to the police, armed men opened fire on the group that was sitting in a house.
Police spokesman Brig. Novela Potelwa said police were called to the scene around 4 pm.
Potelwa said reports from the scene indicated that during the shooting, six people were killed at the scene, while four more were rushed to hospital.
He added that at this time the motive for the shooting is unknown.
The mass shooting comes just days when five people were killed in an attack in Kwandengezi in Pinetown last week. At the time, Colonel Thembeka Mbele, a spokesman for KZN SAPS, said six people were ordered to get out of the vehicle they were sitting in. He said the men shot them multiple times and they all died at the scene. Police are investigating further.
Police Minister Bheki Cele visited the area on Monday, accompanied by the ZN MEC for Transport, Community Security and Liaison Bheki Ntuli and the Commissioner of the National Police, General Khehla Sitole. The delegation met with relatives of the deceased and called for an end to the violence in the province.
