WATCH | Authorities searching for NW shooting suspects

JOHANNESBURG - Those involved in the mass shooting that left 9 people dead in the Popo Molefe informal settlement in Rustenburg must be arrested by the beginning of January.

 That's North West Community Safety MEC, Sello Lehari's wish.

The weekend mass shooting exposed a seemingly underlying war between Basotho and AmaXhosa groups of labourers in the area.
