21 Die in Pair of Mass Shootings Targeting Bars in South Africa
---------------------------------------------------------------

In South Africa, at least 15 people have died in a mass shooting at a
bar in the Soweto township in Johannesburg. Nine people were critically
injured. There are reports a group of men carried out the attack. Four
other people died Saturday in a separate shooting at another tavern in
the South African city of Pietermaritzburg. The incidents come just
weeks after 21 South African teenagers died under mysterious
circumstances at a bar in the city of East London.
