They did not give the ages of the other victims. Police said they were searching for three male suspects.<\/p>\n<p>Another 14 people were wounded and taken to the hospital, according to the SAPS statement. Police didn&#8217;t give details on the ages of those who were injured or their conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting happened at an illegal bar inside a hostel in the Saulsville township, west of the administrative capital of Pretoria, in the early hours of Saturday. Ten of the victims died at the scene and the 11th died at the hospital, police said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are told that at least three unknown gunmen entered this hostel where a group of people were drinking and they started randomly shooting,&#8221; police spokesperson Brig. Athlenda Mathe told national broadcaster SABC. She said the motive for the killings was not clear. The shootings happened at around 4.15 a.m., she said, but police were only alerted at 6 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa has one of the highest homicide rates in the world and recorded more than 26,000 homicides in 2024 \u2014 an average of more than 70 a day. Firearms are by far the leading cause of death in homicides.<\/p>\n<p>The country of 62 million people has relatively strict gun ownership laws, but many killings are committed with illegal guns, authorities say.<\/p>\n<p>There have been several mass shootings at bars \u2014 sometimes called shebeens or taverns in South Africa \u2014 in recent years, including one that left <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/south-africa-bar-mass-shooting-8-dead\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">eight people dead<\/a><\/span> in the southeast city of Durban just a few months ago. In September 2024, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/south-africa-mass-shootings-same-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">17 people were killed<\/a><\/span> in two incidents in the same rural town. A bar shooting in Johannesburg&#8217;s Soweto township left 16 people dead in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mathe said that mass shootings at unlicensed bars were becoming a serious problem and police had shut down more than 11,000 illegal taverns between April and September this year and arrested more than 18,000 people for involvement in illegal liquor sales.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Recent mass killings in South Africa have not been confined to bars, however. Police said 18 people were killed, 15 of them women, in mass shootings minutes apart at two houses on the same road in a rural part of Eastern Cape province in September last year.<\/p>\n<p>Seven men were arrested for those shootings and face multiple charges of murder, while police recovered three AK-style assault rifles they believe were used in the shootings.<\/p>\n<section
