At least 12 people were killed and nine injured in a mass shooting at an informal settlement in Cleveland, east of Johannesburg, on Tuesday evening.
Police have launched a manhunt for over 10 suspects who arrived in a white Toyota Quantum, entered the settlement from two access points and opened fire at multiple locations before fleeing in the same vehicle.
The motive for the attack is not known yet, and an investigation has been launched.
Eight men and three women were declared dead at the scene, with another man later succumbing to his injuries in the hospital.
The nine wounded victims were taken in for medical treatment.
This is the latest in a series of mass shootings in South Africa, which has one of the world's highest murder rates, averaging about 60 a day.
