The 14 patrons who were shot dead at Mdlalose’s tavern in Orlando East, Soweto, in the early hours of Sunday were all above the age of 18, Gauteng premier David Makhura confirmed.
Makhura, who will be visiting the injured on Sunday, said: “The police are doing their work and are hot on the heels of those who are involved, and all we can say now is that all law enforcement officials in Gauteng are all out to try and track down the perpetrators of this heinous crime, and we would like them to bring them to book.”
“This morning I spoke to [community safety] MEC Faith Mazibuko and Gauteng provincial commissioner Lt-Gen Elias Mawela, who briefed me about what happened at the Nomzamo informal settlement where people were shot. Makhura said last night the police were conducting their usual safety operations and Mawela was in Kagiso when the incident took place.
