The deceased, three of them Zimbabwean nationals, were sitting outside a convenience store when gunmen opened fire killing them on impact.
Police suspect the work of an extortion ring operating in the area. Last month 12 people were shot and killed at a nearby hostel . Community leader, Samuel Masilela says the community is heartbroken.
“This is so painful because few days ago there was a situation at hostel. People were killed there. What we can do as church leaders and civil groups, we need to come together. Form prayer sessions and pray. Because what’s happening here is bad for the young kids. Just imagine hearing some gunshots,” he said.
