A 35-year-old suspect has been arrested and is due to appear in court again on the 4^th of April.

Resident Andile Hombana says: “We were shocked by the gun shots hitting the wall of our shack. I folded myself behind the couch. I don’t know what happened. When I went outside, I saw a number of bodies lying on the ground. What happened is painful and we are still shocked.”
