Eleven people have been confirmed dead following a night of shootings in the Marikana informal settlement in Cape Town, police said on Saturday. Brigadier Novela Potelwa told News24 that the death toll climbed by one after one of the two wounded individuals taken to hospital died.
"We can confirm that the another person died as a result of gunshot wounds sustained in the shooting." She said police have since descended on Marikana in Phillipi East.
"We have deployed teams comprising specialist detectives, high-risk units and intelligence operatives. We already executed search operations that are set to continue throughout the day," said Potelwa.
