The death toll from two weekend bar shootings in South
Africa that shocked the country climbed to 20 on Tuesday after a victim died in
hospital, police said on Tuesday.
The latest death came after a shooting at a bar in Soweto
township near Johannesburg early on Sunday, taking the toll of that incident to
16 victims.
Another four people died at a tavern in the eastern city of
Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal province after two men fired indiscriminately
at customers on Saturday.
Police have arrested two people in connection with the
incident.
Investigators are working to establish a motive and arrest
the perpetrators of the Soweto shooting, police said in a statement.
"Several shooters" armed with AK-47 assault rifles
committed the Soweto killings, according to preliminary findings.
Shootings are common in South Africa, which has one of the
world's highest murder rates, fuelled by gang violence and alcohol.
But the apparently random murders at the weekend have
mystified investigators.
President Cyril Ramaphosa denounced the weekend violence as
"unacceptable".
