Multiple Attackers Kill 12, Wound Nine In Johannesburg, South Africa by Pakute(op): 7:27pm On Jun 10
• Police said the shooters were dropped off at the settlement in a minibus 'and moved through the area, opening fire on residents and community members at multiple locations before fleeing the scene in the same vehicle.

A group of armed attackers drove into a poor neighbourhood in South Africa's biggest city, got out of a minivan and opened fire at residents in a late-night attack in Johannesburg that killed 12 people and wounded at least nine, police said Wednesday.

The attack unfolded late on Tuesday night in an informal settlement in the city's Cleveland suburb, police said, adding that there were at least 10 suspected attackers who later fled the scene.

Johannesburg has long been the scene of organised crime gangs vying for control of illegal mining or other activities, though police said the motive of the latest shooting was still under investigation.

Police said the shooters were dropped off at the settlement in a minibus "and moved through the area, opening fire on residents and community members at multiple locations before fleeing the scene in the same vehicle."

The victims were nine men and three women, according to police. Eleven died at the scene and another victim died in the hospital.



POLICE SAY THE SHOOTING WAS INSANE AND BARBARIC

Police said a search was launched for the suspects and the vehicle but that no arrests had been made.

Provincial police commissioner Tommy Mthombeni called the killings "insane, heartless and, to a certain extent, barbaric."

He said it was too early to link them to illegal mining gangs as an investigation was underway, but police were considering that as a possible motive.

He said a recent police operation in the area had confiscated illegal firearms, including assault rifles, and illegal miners were known to operate there.

Ambulances were on the scene on Wednesday morning to carry away the victims' bodies while community members huddled in groups on the streets.

Informal settlements in South Africa are unplanned residential areas that are common in and around big cities where people looking for housing live in shacks or other makeshift structures. Illegal miners sometimes operate in the same areas.

SOUTH AFRICA HAS SEEN SEVERAL MASS SHOOTINGS RECENTLY

South Africa has seen several high-profile mass shootings recently, including two in December that killed more than 20 people. One of those attacks also involved multiple shooters.

Mass shootings in South Africa are often connected to criminal gangs. In Johannesburg, violent gangs are involved in illicit mining in and around a city that has large gold reserves and many mines that have been abandoned by companies.

Gangs search abandoned mines for leftover gold deposits, which they sometimes store in hideouts in the informal settlements. Rival gangs also fight turf wars for control of areas.

Cleveland is a suburb connected to illegal mining activity, a local council member said, though he added there were also other problems in the area including tensions over land between different parts of the local community and it was not certain illegal mining gangs were responsible for the killings.

"There are a lot of moving parts here so it's hard to pinpoint exactly what is driving the issues," council member Neuren Pietersen said in an interview with the eNCA TV station at the scene.

Talk for yourself and kins. A man who doesn’t know his history is doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Europe and every other developed place on earth once was like a jungle, without the rule of law, until structures, institutions and governments were set up to put things in order. Africa is the most ethnically diverse place on earth and people exploits the resulting fault lines to make sure things never get straightened out….

Shebi Black South Africans prefer attacking other blacks, they should go and face their fellow violent people man to man.


My anger is with Donald Trump, this is the right time to divide South Africa into Black South Africa and White South Africans so that the world will know how ingenuis the black South Africans are in building a wonderful black South African nation that will compete with Japan shocked

I can see the hands of the white South Africans in play here.

The black south Africans are too blind to see the bigger pictures. They've been programmed to fight their sister Africans in the the name illegal migration.

The white south Africans sponsoring ethnic cleansing in poor black south African towns.

A white man shot and killed dozens of people from his hotel room using a rifle

A 14 year old white boy shot and killed 4 students at his high school

Then there is Sandy Hook

Then there is the White Norwegian who shot dead 82 of his peers, all but one of them white, in Norway

There is the white spree killer who went and killed several people on the streets of a major american city

There are the white shooters that entered shops and shot dead dozens of people

There are the two white teenagers who killed 16 of their peers at their high school

There is the white guy who went round shooting interracial copules because race

How about serial killers like Bundy, Lacy and even Rader? WHITE PEOPLE

How about the gang violence involving white biker gangs, including one big fight that led to several people being injured. INVOLVING two white biker gangs.

Infact in the USA, white people are more likely to do spree shootings than other races and religons.

How about the white guy that attacked a Mormon church and killed 9 people

Or the white transgender who attacked and killed two in a church related school

How about the white guy who killed 13 of his peers in a high school in Florida.?

How about the ...I can go on.

Apparently white people cannot rule themselves either by your reasoning.

Yes, and a lot of foreign expats come here to work, etc.

So, by your reasoning, white people are not fit to rule their country.

Oga, stop being a joke and get up and change your country. Stop this self hate for nothing. And no, I am not saying Nigeria is suddenly this wonderful place, I am saying your reasoning is flawed.
