A mass shooting in Johannesburg has left 12 dead, sparking a manhunt for the gunmen. The attack occurred late Friday in a crowded area of the city, with police describing it as a targeted hit. South Africa's high crime rates and lax gun laws are once again under scrutiny.
The ruling ANC faces pressure to act, but critics say the real issue is a breakdown of law and order. The Sunday Times reports that the police minister has vowed to 'leave no stone unturned.' But in a country where 10,000 murders were recorded last year, such promises ring hollow.
The opposition Democratic Alliance is calling for a state of emergency in the province. For now, the streets of Johannesburg remain tense. The manhunt continues.
