Powerless and confronted with daily gunfire, residents of Soweto's Nomzamo informal settlement cite the proliferation of illegal guns and the lack of electricity for the high crime rate they suffer.
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.
The police patrols which have become a common feature in Nomzamo settlement in Soweto where 16 people were shot and killed at a tavern last week are yet to result in any arrest.
