--><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body\">\n<p>At least 27 people were killed in two mass shootings in South Africa&#8217;s two main cities, police said on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The first incident occurred Saturday evening when eight gunmen armed with assault rifles stormed a bar west of Johannesburg and shot 17 people and wounded 15 others.<\/p>\n<p>The suspects opened fire on customers drinking outside and then moved inside to continue shooting, police said, where they killed 13 males and four females.<\/p>\n<p>The motive for the shooting was still unknown, police said, adding that the suspects torched two vehicles before fleeing.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate shooting at an entertainment venue in a township outside Cape Town early on Sunday, gunmen killed 10 people and wounded 11 more.<\/p>\n<p>Five of the victims were declared dead at the scene while the others succumbed to their injuries while being taken to hospital.<\/p>\n<p>No suspect has been arrested in either case, police said.<\/p>\n<p>The attacks come as South Africa, awash with legal and illegal firearms, grapples with persistent gun violence often linked to gang rivalries and competition among informal businesses.<\/p>\n<p>The country of about 62 million people records roughly 60 murders a day, among the highest rates globally.<\/p>\n<p>In March, soldiers moved into violence hotspots in Johannesburg to support police efforts to tackle rampant crime, described by President Cyril Ramaphosa as one of the biggest threats facing the country.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa has repeatedly turned to the army in times of crisis, from enforcing strict Covid-19 lockdowns in 2020 to deploying troops during the deadly riots sparked by the jailing of ex-president Jacob Zuma in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Soldiers were also sent into the streets in 2023 after a wave of truck burnings raised fears of wider unrest.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\"
