News24 reports that Police Minister Bheki Cele has assured residents of Orlando East that police resources and visibility in the area will be improved.
This after unknown gunmen killed 15 people in a mass shooting at an Orlando East tavern on Sunday morning. Twenty-three people were shot inside the Mdlalose tavern, twelve were killed on the scene, three more died in hospital, and eight wounded patrons are still recovering in nearby hospitals. Police said they have tasked an 11-member team to investigate the murders, and maximum resources have been activated to find and apprehend the five suspects. On human resources, Cele said they would recruit and select suitable candidates to serve as police officers, adding that all applicants would be subjected to fitness, psychometric and integrity testing, as well as medical evaluations during the recruitment, selection and enlistment process. He indicated: "When you have a tattoo, we don't hire you because you have a tendency of being a gangster."
