Three armed men opened fire on guests at a house party in a township south of the South African city of Durban on Tuesday night, killing at least 11 and injuring three, in what police said could be a gang-related incident.
A woman believed to be pregnant and 13 men were among those attending the party in the township of KwaMakhutha in KwaZulu-Natal province, police said on Wednesday in a statement on X.
"Ten victims, including the woman, died at the scene and four were taken to hospital, where one of them succumbed to gunshot injuries," they added in a statement.
The motive for the attack is not known, but police said "a feud between rival groupings cannot be ruled out". Police have launched a manhunt for the three suspects.
Some of the victims were on the radar of crime intelligence in connection with illegal activities, police said, without giving more details.
