Wave of gun violence claims 11 lives in Cape Town

At least 11 people were killed in three separate shootings across Cape Town over the weekend. The most severe incident occurred in Gugulethu, where five individuals were killed and one person injured after armed suspects broke into a home and opened fire. Police are investigating but have not determined the motive and no arrests have been made. Another mass shooting took place in Stellenbosch, killing four people and injuring six others, including two police officers. A third shooting in Manenberg resulted in two fatalities and one injury. Authorities have condemned the violence and are actively pursuing leads.
