Twelve people were shot dead in Cleveland, Johannesburg, on Tuesday night, 9 June. And more than ten injured. The men who did it, police think there were more than 10 of them, arrived by minibus at the Jumpers informal settlement, walked in through two gates, fired on whomever was in front of them, and drove off. By Wednesday morning there were no arrests and no motive anyone could state with any confidence.
