It’s alleged that a group of about 20 gunmen surrounded a block of flats in the hostel and started shooting into a room where nine people were drinking.
Three people died at the scene, while a fourth victim succumbed to gunshot wounds at a local clinic. The other five wounded people were rushed to a clinic with gunshot wounds. Forensic investigators marked numerous spots in the back and front of the yard where evidence, presumably empty cartridges, were collected. Bullet holes can be seen on the walls.Residents refused to talk to SABC News, saying they were scared for their lives. Police say they cannot rule out the possibility of rivalry between hitmen.
