POTCHEFSTROOM – The Provincial Commissioner of North West, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena condemns in the strongest possible terms the killing of seven people in the early hours of today at a tavern at Extension 13, Kanana Location, near Orkney outside Klerksdorp.

The suspects reportedly arrived at the tavern, looked for Basotho, then randomly fired shots and instantly killed seven people; one female and six males, while several others were injured. The suspects then took CCTV system, cash from the till and snooker table. The suspects further robbed patrons of their cell phones and fled from the scene.

Police are still combing through the scene. The motive is yet to be determined and no arrest has been effected.
