00:00Moving on to South Africa, the police reported the deaths of at least 27 people in two separate
00:05mass shootings over the weekend, as the country continues to grapple with an increasing number
00:09of violent crimes.
00:11The first attack happened in Johannesburg on Saturday.
00:15Eight gunmen armed with assault rifles entered a bar at around 7.30 pm and opened fire on
00:20patrons, killing 17 people and wounding 15.
00:23The attackers also set fire to two vehicles before fleeing the scene.
00:27Hours later, another shooting took place at an entertainment venue in Township outside
00:32Cape Town, where 10 people were killed and 11 wounded.
00:36Five of the victims died at the scene, while the others succumbed to their injuries on the

01:34We heard the shooting and now I'm left traumatized, especially since I have health issues of the
01:40heart.
01:41I wanted to go out the house to go look for my daughter who was outside.
01:45Luckily I saw her jumping the fence returning from her partner's house.
01:49I'd like to say that the government should now intervene here in our area and deploy the
01:53military for three months.
01:55Maybe things can better.
01:57Because now these people are killing our children?
01:59That will come.
02:00Let us do that one more time.
02:01and look forward to it.
02:01Now that you're going
