A child was one of the victims shot.
Police in the Western Cape are investigating a mass shooting in Wesbank, Blue Downs, on Saturday night that resulted in the death of four people and left a seven-year-old child injured.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) has mobilised specialised units to hunt down the perpetrators of the attack, which investigators believe may be linked to ongoing local gang violence.
The incident took place at about 8pm in Strandveld Street.
The provincial police spokesperson, Colonel Andrè Traut, said four counts of murder and one count of attempted murder are currently being investigated.
