Durban – Community members in Umlazi, south of Durban, said that the use of firearms had now become a routine in their community.
Over the past week, eleven people were shot and killed in two separate incidents in the township.
One woman said no one would have thought that people were being killed because people often fried shots in the air.
She said that when shots were heard this time around, no one expected people to be killed.
“There’s always gunshots going off here. even When they went off here this time around, I was in bed resting because I was not feeling well and I said to myself ‘these guns are always going off here’ only to find out the situation was really bad.”
The police are investigating the motive for the attacks.
