Eleven people were killed in a series of overnight shootings in a Cape Town township, police said Saturday, including four victims shot dead when gunmen opened fire in a bar.
Extra police officers were deployed to the Philipi district of Cape Town, a city that suffers from regular gang violence and armed clashes between rival criminal groups.
"We have deployed teams comprising specialist detectives, high-risk units and intelligence operatives," police spokeswoman Novela Potelwa told the News 24 website.
"We already executed search operations that are set to continue throughout the day. The police are doing their best to arrest those responsible."
MURDER
Tens of thousands of people live in informal shack settlements in Philipi, located in the notoriously crime-ridden Cape Flats area of the city.
Four people were shot dead at an informal "shebeen" bar on Friday evening, with three other bodies found by police nearby.
11 killed in S.Africa township shootings
I'm thinking after robbing 36 tourists there is no more tourist industry.
