Gauteng Premier Mbhazima Shilowa received with shock and uttermost disgust the news of the senseless shooting incident in Pretoria this afternoon, which left three people dead and several injured.
The Premier condemns without equivocation this abominable attack on peace loving people. Such can only be an act of a brute that may only be motivated by hatred.
The Premier is confident that with the assistance of the community of Pretoria, the law enforcement agencies will soon apprehend the brute responsible for the shooting and ensure he faces the full might of the law.
The Premier wishes to express heart-felt condolence to the bereaved families and wish those injured a speedy recovery.
