North West police have established a task team to hunt down the killers who gunned down nine people in the Popo Molefe informal settlement outside Rustenburg.
Provincial police spokesperson, Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone, said the incident happened on Saturday night.
He said according to information, a group of “mainly Xhosa-speaking” individuals were sitting in a yard of a house when an unknown number of “Sesotho-speaking suspects” opened fire on them.
Mokgwabone said eight people died on the scene while the ninth victim was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.
He said another eight people were also wounded.
“The motive is yet to be determined and no one has been arrested at this stage. Investigations into the matter continue,” said Mokgwabone.
