South African police have launched multiple manhunts following three mass shootings, which left at least 32 people dead and dozens injured. Gunmen killed 18 people at a tavern near Johannesburg, 10 at an entertainment venue near Cape Town and four in a Cape Town township. Police are investigating possible motives, including retaliation and business rivalry. According to official statistics, South Africa recorded 5,427 murders between April and June 2026, averaging nearly 60 a day - one of the highest in the world. President Cyril Ramaphosa meanwhile has promised to take stronger action against violent crime. But many locals wonder: What will it take to stop the wave of deadly shootings in South Africa?
