Two bar shootings leave 19 dead in South Africa
Two bar shootings, one in a township close to Johannesburg and another in eastern South Africa, has left 19 people dead, police said.
In Soweto, 15 people were killed after as they enjoyed a night out, police said on Sunday, when assailants drew up in a minibus taxi and began randomly firing at bar patrons.
In the eastern city of Pietermaritzburg, police reported four people were killed and eight wounded during a shootout in a bar after two men fired discriminately at customers.
Police sources said it was too early to say if the assaults were in some way connected but observed their similarity. Al Jazeera's Katia Lopez Hoda-Yan has more.
