Police spokesperson Col Dimakatso Sello said three suspects wearing balaclavas and armed with pistols arrived at the Monaco tavern and found a group of people sitting around.
“The trio fired in the air before approaching the 33-year-old man and shooting him twice,” Sello said.The incident follows three other shootings at taverns in Soweto, Katlehong and Pietermaritzburg at the weekend in which 22 people were killed. A week earlier, 21 underage children died in a tavern in the Eastern Cape. The children were found slumped in chairs and on tables while others had dropped on the dance floor. Their deaths are still being investigated.
