Mdlalose's tavern in Orlando East, Soweto, where 16 people were shot dead in the early hours last Sunday.The manager of Mdlalose’s tavern in Nomzamo, Orlando East in Soweto on Thursday said he had suffered sleepless nights following the deaths of 16 people gunned down at the premises over the weekend.
“During the night I don’t sleep. When others are sleeping I am wide awake. I am only able to sleep during the day. I can’t talk about it. I don’t have energy,” he said.Gunmen armed with AK-47 rifles ambushed patrons, spraying dozens of bullets in the tavern. “ How many have to die so residents of Nomzamo can be heard? We are killed while going to work and coming from work. My brother had a wife and kids. Who will they cry to?” she asked while struggling to hold back tears.About 200 people attended the memorial service held in a tent pitched on the sports ground. The service was led by the ANC in Johannesburg.
On Wednesday Gauteng community safety MEC Faith Mazibuko said while government was providing support to the families where it could, it was not assisting with the funerals and burials. “Many of them are going to KwaZulu-Natal. There is one person we know will be buried in this area.”ANC delegates had visited several families in the area.
