South Africa: 45 dead in week of mass shootings across three provinces

A wave of mass shootings across Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape has killed at least 45 people in a week, with specialized police teams investigating. The motive remains unknown, and the incidents appear to be a coordinated or copycat pattern, though no group has claimed responsibility. This marks a significant escalation in violent crime, straining public security and potentially affecting investor confidence.
