00:00Fear is growing in South African townships after a series of deadly shootings with residents
00:06calling for stronger security measures as violence increasingly reaches their homes
00:11and communities.
00:13There were some shootings there and there between, as they've said, between Samazama
00:22gangs. So now that it involves community members, and as a result of that, over 17 people and
00:33even more have died. This has never happened here. So I feel very sad and traumatized.
00:40We had the shooting and now I'm left traumatized, especially since I have health issues of the
00:47hearts. I wanted to go out of the house to go look for my daughter who was outside. Luckily,
00:53I saw a jump in the fence returning from my partner's house. I'd like to say that the government
00:58should now intervene here in our community and deploy the military for three months. Maybe
01:04things can get better because now these people are killing their children. Police have deployed
01:10specialized units and soldiers to the scene as investigators search for those responsible.
01:16no arrests have been announced in the Wadila attack.
