At least 27 people died overnight Saturday to Sunday after two mass shootings in South Africa. The numerous gunmen were still being sought on Sunday morning.
Two deadly shootings at nightclubs took place in South Africa on the night of Saturday, September 27th. The killings occurred in Cape Town and Johannesburg. In total, at least 27 people lost their lives.
In Johannesburg, eight gunmen killed 17 people and wounded 15 others in a bar in the west of the city. "It appears that [the assailants] searched some customers, seizing their mobile phones before fleeing in two unidentified cars," added the police, who specified that the shooting took place around 9:30 p.m. (7:30 p.m. GMT).

In Cape Town, two men opened fire "in a nightclub in Lwandle at 1:46 a.m. local time (11:46 p.m. GMT)," according to police. Ten people died and eleven others were injured.
A team of detectives and other specialized units have been mobilized to find and arrest the suspects.
South Africa is flooded with firearms, both legal and illegal. Shootings are frequent, often fueled by gang rivalries. The country of 62 million inhabitants has one of the highest murder rates in the world, with 60 people killed every day.
