Daily News
|December 10, 2025
POLICE must intensify efforts to curb the mushrooming of illegal liquor outlets, which have frequently become scenes of mass shootings and violent crime across South Africa.
This was said by the executive chairperson of the Gauteng Community Police Board, TJ Masilela, following the recent shooting in Tshwane, where at least 12 people lost their lives.
IOL reported on Saturday that the number of people killed in the shooting at Saulsville Hostel in Atteridgeville, west of Pretoria, had risen to 12, after another person died in hospital. Police previously confirmed that the shooting occurred at an illegal tavern in the area. Earlier, police had reported that 10 people had died and more than ten were injured and taken to the hospital.
Speaking to broadcaster Newzroom Afrika, Masilela said South Africa should not still have hostels in this era.
