South Africa Gun Violence: Another Bar Shooting Kills Nine, Injures Ten | Firstpost Africa | N18G

South Africa is reeling from another brutal mass shooting after gunmen opened fire at a bar in Bekkersdal, a township near Johannesburg, on Sunday (December 21). The “unprovoked” attack, carried out by approximately ten suspects armed with pistols and an AK-47, left at least nine people dead and ten others injured. Witnesses described a scene of total chaos, with some victims shot while attempting to flee, and survivors using wheelbarrows to transport the wounded to nearby clinics. This attack is the latest in a surging wave of violence across the nation. Just weeks prior, eleven people—including a three-year-old—were killed near Pretoria. From the daylight assassination of DJ Warris Stock to the targeted killing of a corruption whistleblower, the country is grappling with an average of 63 murders per day. With an estimated three million unlicensed firearms in circulation, South Africans are desperately calling for government intervention to curb a gun violence epidemic that shows no signs of slowing.
