Police minister Bheki Cele says an 11-member detective team is investigating the murders at a Soweto tavern.
One hundred and thirty-seven empty cartridges were found at the scene of the massacre, he revealed after receiving a briefing from police in Orlando East.
During a community engagement on Monday, Cele heard the concerns about crime in the area from members of the community of Nomzamo, Diepkloof and Orlando.
This is a developing story.
