A mass shooting in Johannesburg has left 12 people dead and four injured, triggering a nationwide manhunt for suspects. The incident occurred late Tuesday evening at a tavern in the Soweto township, where gunmen opened fire on patrons. Police have described the attack as 'premeditated and callous' and have mobilised forensic teams to process the scene.
Early reports indicate no immediate arrests, but authorities are pursuing multiple leads. This tragedy adds to South Africa's chronic gun violence crisis and raises urgent questions about policing and social inequality in urban centres.
