A motive for the shooting remains unclear, and authorities are working to identify the victims.
“We are still busy obtaining statements. Our national crime and management team has arrived,” Fred Kekana, acting commissioner of the Gauteng province, where the crime occurred, was quoted as saying by AFP.
“Ten people are dead. We don’t have a breakdown of who they are,” a police spokesperson said.
