• At least nine people have been killed and 10 wounded in a mass shooting in the Bekkersdal township, west of the city of Johannesburg in South Africa, according to the police.
  • A manhunt is currently under way for those involved in the shooting, which took place at a tavern just before 1am (23:00 GMT Saturday).
  • Police say victims were “randomly shot on the streets” by at least 10 armed people.
  • The attack is the latest in a string of mass shootings that have shocked the crime‑weary country of 63 million people, which suffers one of the highest murder rates in the world.
  • Earlier this month, armed men killed at least 12 people, including a three-year-old boy, in a mass shooting at a bar near the South African city of Pretoria.
