Six people died, while another victim is recovering in hospital.

 

Cele visited the crime scene on Tuesday and said several leads are being followed up by investigators.

 

“So far, we are not going to be giving any direction and any indication, the police are on it and the provincial commissioner.

 

"We have what they think they can follow but it is enough to say that for now.”

 

Cele added: “The first thing is that this thing looks like it was planned and secondly for the fact that the people who died here come from one area orginally... but we will be following up on that."

 

Cele said a police constable was also gunned down in the area, in a seperate incident, on Monday evening.
