The South African Police Service said 17 people were killed and at least 15 wounded when eight gunmen with AK-47 rifles and pistols attacked a tavern in Wedela township, south-west of Johannesburg, on Saturday night, and that 10 more were killed and 11 wounded in a second shooting in Lwandle township near Cape Town early on Sunday. Police said no arrests had been made and gave no motive.

The South African Police Service said 17 people — 13 men and four women — were killed and at least 15 wounded when eight attackers armed with AK-47 rifles and pistols opened fire at a tavern in Wedela township, south-west of Johannesburg, at about 9:30pm on Saturday. Police said 10 more people were killed and 11 wounded in a second shooting in Lwandle township near Cape Town after 1am on Sunday.
