Police officers secure the crime scene at the Jumpers informal settlement in Cleveland, Johannesburg, after a mass shooting left 13 people dead and others wounded.
Three Lesotho nationals have appeared before the Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court in connection with a mass shooting in Cleveland that left 13 people dead and 14 others injured earlier this month.
The accused, Molebeli Mosia, 34, Ramonne Tsibela, 32, and Zipho Metsing, 26, face 13 counts of murder and 14 counts of attempted murder following the deadly attack at the Jumpers informal settlement on 9 June 2026.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the three men allegedly acted together with other suspects when they drove to the informal settlement and opened fire indiscriminately on residents.
The shooting resulted in the deaths of 13 people, while a further 14 victims sustained injuries and required medical treatment.
