South African Police Hunt Suspects After Two Mass Shootings Kill 27

South African police are searching for suspects following two separate shootings within hours of each other west of Johannesburg and near Cape Town. Seventeen people were killed and 15 injured at a tavern in Wedela township, while five people were killed and five others died after being transported to hospital from an entertainment venue in Lwandle. The attacks highlight persistent gang violence, organised crime and concerns about public safety ahead of November municipal elections.
