South Africa: Wedela residents traumatized after mass shooting

In Wedela, southwest of Johannesburg, a shooting that resulted in at least 17 deaths in a bar has deeply shocked the community. Residents like Siyabonga Nondabula describe it as a turning point, as violence had previously been limited to gang-related shootouts involving illegal miners. Victor Mangaliso calls for increased security, including military deployment, to reassure residents living in fear. The attack was carried out by eight armed men with AK-47 rifles and pistols, targeting bar patrons.
