The manager of Mdlalose's tavern in Nomzamo, Orlando East in Soweto on Thursday said he had suffered sleepless nights following the deaths of 16 people gunned down at the premises over the weekend.
When police minister Bheki Cele visited the area on Monday, he told residents more than 130 cartridges were collected at the scene.Mdlalose indicated they never had a problem at the tavern and could not put a finger on why they were attacked.While he battles to come to terms with what unfolded, a sister of one victim, Daliwonga Mluma pleaded with authorities to hunt for the killers.
“ How many have to die so residents of Nomzamo can be heard? We are killed while going to work and coming from work. My brother had a wife and kids. Who will they cry to?” she asked while struggling to hold back tears.About 200 people attended the memorial service held in a tent pitched on the sports ground. The service was led by the ANC in Johannesburg.
Framed pictures of the deceased were held up by residents at the memorial service held in Nomzamo in Orlando East on Thursday.Among those who attended the memorial service was Gauteng ANC provincial secretary Thembinkosi “TK” Nciza.He said government and other stakeholders had intervened to ensure the victims were buried in a dignified manner.
