“People were enjoying themselves at the tavern and all of a sudden heard gunshots and others thought a shooting was happening outside. It is only when they realised that people were dropping dead when they pretended that they are also dead or injured and fell on the ground as well,” The South African quoted Mawele as saying.
The suspects reportedly fled the scene in a white quantum.
The Soweto incident comes just weeks after 21 teenagers were also tragically killed at Enyobeni tavern in Scenery Park, East London.
The mass funeral was held at Scenery Park SportsField on Wednesday.
