Twelve people were killed and nine others wounded on the night of June 9-10, 2026 in Cleveland, a peripheral neighborhood of Johannesburg. A group of about ten armed men attacked the Jumpers informal settlement around 11 p.m., firing on residents before fleeing in a white utility vehicle. South African police, through spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi, stated that no arrests had been made. The motive is not yet established, but the hypothesis of a settling of scores linked to illegal mining is favored.
