Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Seven people were killed and two were injured in an attack by armed attackers on a hostel in the South African city of Umlazi. This was reported on June 3 by the press service of the local police.

It is specified that nine men aged 20 to 40 were in one of the hostel rooms and consumed alcoholic beverages. Unexpectedly, armed unknown men burst into the hostel, opened fire on the company, and then fled the scene.
Sounds like South Africa — a violent place.
Seven victims died on the spot, two more were hospitalized with severe injuries.

The motives of the attackers who attacked the hostel are unknown. The police launched an investigation into the causes and circumstances of the incident.

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that during the mass protests that began in Senegal after the conviction of local opposition leader Ousmane Sonko , at least nine people were killed.
