00:00Fear is growing in South African townships after a series of deadly shootings, with residents
00:06calling for stronger security measures as violence increasingly reaches their homes
00:11and communities.
00:13There were some shootings there and there between, as they've said, between Samazama
00:22gangs. So now that it involves community members, and as a result of that, over 17 people and
00:33even more have died. This has never happened here. So I feel very sad and traumatized.
00:40We had the shooting and now I'm left traumatized, especially since I have health issues over
00:47the house. I wanted to go out of the house to go look for my daughter who was outside.
00:52Luckily, I saw her jump in the fence returning from her partner's house. I'd like to say
00:57that the government should now intervene here in our community and deploy the military for
01:03three months. Maybe things can get better because now these people are killing their children.
01:09Police have deployed specialized units and soldiers to the scene as investigators search for those
01:16responsible. No arrests have been announced in the Wadela attack.
