Seventeen people were killed in two mass shootings in Lusikisiki, a rural South African town, highlighting the increasing prevalence of gun violence in the country.
The details are alarming; twelve women and a man were killed in one house and three women and a man in another, shedding light on the targeted nature of these attacks.
With a homicide rate of 45 per 100,000, South Africa struggles with rampant gun violence, exacerbated by illegal firearms, despite having strict laws governing gun ownership.
Efforts to combat this violence include a manhunt for the suspects involved, although police have not yet disclosed a motive behind these tragic incidents.
