Eight killed in tavern shooting


Eight people have been shot and killed in an attack on a tavern near Klerksdorp in the North West province. 

Police say gunmen fired randomly at patrons in Kanana early on Saturday morning. 

SAPS spokesperson Sabata Mokgwabone says the suspects reportedly arrived at the tavern in search of Basotho people.

Two women and six men were killed. Several others were wounded.

"The suspects then took the CCTV system, cash from the till and the snooker table. Then they robbed patrons of their cell phones and fled from the scene," said Mokgwabone. 

Police are still combing through the scene. 

The motive is yet to be determined. No arrests have been made yet.
