A mass shooting at a tavern in Soweto, Gauteng, South Africa, killed fourteen people.

According to reports, the incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday, July 10, 2022, at a tavern in the Nomzamo section.

Ten others were injured at the Orlando tavern, with three in critical condition.

According to Gauteng Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Elias Mawela, preliminary investigations indicate that people were enjoying themselves in the tavern when suspects entered and opened fire on them.

“Yes I can confirm that incident did happen and it happened around 12:30am this morning,” Mawela said.

“Primary investigations suggest the people were enjoying themselves in the tavern. They just came in and shot at them randomly,” Mawela said.

Mawela stated that detectives are at the scene.

“The age range is just an estimation from my detectives to say they are between 19 and 35 years,” he added.
