Western Cape Police have launched a manhunt for suspects after seven people were killed in a mass shooting in Gugulethu, Cape Town.
The men were gunned down in a shack on early Saturday morning by unknown assailants.
The shooting happened in a residence within the Kanana informal settlement.
Polices spokesperson André Traut said three other men who were asleep in the house at the time of the attack escaped unharmed.
"At approximately 03:30, SAPS members on patrol were alerted to the shooting. Upon arrival at the scene, officers discovered the bodies of seven men, all with gunshot wounds,"
"Preliminary information suggests that the victims were socialising in the kitchen when they were ambushed by unknown assailants. The motive for the heinous crime is yet to be established," concludes Traut.
