In the early hours of Sunday, armed gunmen opened fire on patrons of a pub in the South African township of Soweto, killing 15 and injuring 9, according to authorities.
The men entered the Orlando East pub before “firing randomly at the occupants,” according to police, who claim that the massacre occurred just after midnight. According to police, the unidentified gunmen fled the area and are currently missing. They added that it was unclear how many people were engaged in the attack.
With 20,000 murders per year, South Africa is one of the most violent nations in the world. It also has one of the highest murder rates per capita in the world.
The largest Black township in the nation is Soweto, which is close to Johannesburg. They are the products of white minority rule, which was overthrown in 1994 but left behind a lasting legacy of pervasive poverty and youth unemployment
