At least 11 people were killed, including a three-year-old boy, in a mass shooting that occurred on Saturday at an illegal bar (known as a 'shebeen') in the Saulsville township of Pretoria, South Africa.

The deceased include three minors: a 3-year-old boy, a 12-year-old boy, and a 16-year-old female. An additional 14 people were wounded during the incident. The South African Police Service (SAPS) has launched a manhunt for three unidentified suspects. Police did not specify whether the shooting took place inside or outside the illegal establishment.

The tragedy highlights South Africa's severe issue with violent crime, as the country records one of the highest murder rates globally, averaging approximately 60 murders per day.
