JOHANNESBURG - Survivors of a mass shooting in Orange Farm, where seven people were killed, say they now live in constant fear.
The deadly incident unfolded in the early hours of Sunday after a dispute between a tavern owner and a patron over the closing time and alcohol sales.
The owner allegedly followed the patron to a family lobola celebration and opened fire.
Among those he killed were five family members, a neighbour, and a three-year-old boy before he turned the gun on himself.
Survivor Lauren Maisha explained: "We can’t even stay here, we’re thinking of moving but where to? We don’t know. We live in constant fear, he threatened to use petrol on us and every sound we hear in the evenings, affects us, we're so scared."
