Four people have been killed and eight others severely injured in a violent confrontation with members of a community policing forum in Soshanguve, north of Pretoria on Saturday morning.
Preliminary investigations suggest that in the early hours of Saturday morning, Marry Me informal settlement CPF members were patrolling the area when they noticed a group of people on the street.
When the members approached the group, a fight broke out, which ended with four people dead and eight injured.
Police spokesperson, Brenda Muridili, said that they were investigating four counts of murder and eight counts of attempted murder.
“Police found four bodies with gunshot wounds and partially burned. Witnesses reported that other victims, now confirmed to be eight, were taken to hospital with private vehicles as well as ambulances. The motive for the attack will be determined by investigations.
