Two people shot dead at Johannesburg.
Yusuf Abramjee, a prominent South African anti-crime activist, reports that two people were killed by stray bullets in a shootout involving illegal miners at the Zamimpilo informal settlement in Riverlea, south of Johannesburg.
Police are investigating the incident, which reflects recurring gun violence tied to zama zama operations that have plagued the area with multiple past shootouts and civilian casualties.
