Two separate mass shootings near South Africa's largest cities have killed at least 27 people. In Gauteng province, a gunman using an AK-47 opened fire at a tavern, leaving 17 dead—including 13 men and 4 women—and 15 wounded. South Africa police have launched a manhunt for the perpetrator. These attacks occur as the nation continues to struggle with persistent gun violence, which is frequently linked to ongoing gang rivalries within various township areas.
